Diesel In The Morning
...
Daddy drove a truck
I'm a trucker's son
I'll be driving eighteen wheelers
'til my trucking days are done
Momma lives for trucks
looking good under the hood
born in a cab
I have truck...

My Three Blessings
...As I look out the window at my three boys, I hear all the racket, I hear all the noise.

runs through a rolled out blueprint

riddles and conspiracies
bound around
like cat nipped kittens.
What to consider, what to investigate,
unravel and expose?
Some flounder in the maze and mire
of partial uncerta...

Saturday Nights At Barney's
...Saturday nights at Barney’s
Rowdy Cowboy Honky-Tonk,
Our band sang soulful love songs
That cried while our guitars wailed.
We oozed moods for fresh lovers,
And throbbing hearts on the mend,
Thr...

Meratus In Jeopardy
...Mammals cried on the domestic site.
They were pursued by homeless shelters.
A calamitous plan destroyed the primate.
Declaring war creeped on mining wheelers.
Deforestation triggered ruins.

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 spark...

The Defiant Giant In a Robin Reliant
...And the beanstalk fell and the giant as well
And the giant lay there dead
I swear to you I thought it true
It seems I was misled
Though the giant bled he raised his head
And said I want my go...

Silent Streets
...Silent streets, frozen lights
Crystal clear in the silent night
The roads and bridges
Once where two-wheelers and four-wheelers plied,
Now, lie as if deserts
Under the dark clear sky.
Once the ...

did she see the oncoming,
judge the distance;
the fleet footedness
of her thoughts calculating

or did she read the red end of her life

Wrong order in maths
But a thought of myth
Order of wheelers invented thus
The vehicles taking ride all of us...

Snake At Noon
...It is true that daylight robs,
it pushes us into sights
that we come to question;
such as the python that lay
like a thick ship’s hawser
in the road, and would not
move for my jeep.

Once flat it’s too late for faith healers
Midway between tyres
Avoids the hell fires
Alas, there are bloody three wheelers...
