Trucking
Like thunder scolds
the big trucks roll
eighteen wheelers rumbling
turning, rounded tumblings
static cling above the blacktop sounds;
each load heavy and unmarked
catastrophic diesel sparks,
rhythm pounds loud along the tarp,
tractor trailers clapping along the ground
from the midwest highways bound
slipping thru the backroad byways,
juggernaut bartering the tolls on a skyway
four wheelers piggyback tows
convoy escorts ever on the go;
beating down the macadam and concrete
trucking down the inner streets
transportation, what a feat.
