American Summer

Poems written while traveling.

Highway 70


Trucks and cars and trucks with boats; trees
full of peaches, the Sutter Buttes sitting above

the dwarfed orchard—some red, farm machineries
spiraling up clouds of smoke-colored dust;

distant signs of the river; kiwis, kiwis,
cars and trucks and cars with trailers; plums

and walnuts and distant signs of the distant
past—plums and walnuts, plums and apricots,

trucks and cars and argus motorhomes; tractors
under those ancient oaks and metal sheds,

plums and walnuts and apricots and plums
or prunes and peaches and kiwis, kiwis.
