P. 55
Your eyes burn from the stinking
newly laid road - your eyes sting
when you squint in the spotlight
white sun - the smoke from the steam roller
paves your lungs-
I've thought about driving trucks
across the country - gettin' out of here-
seeing all forty-eight states-settle down-
get a wife-
Frank signals me to stop
my cars so his can pass-
What if I turn the sign and let them go instead?
