American Summer

Poems written while traveling.

US 93


Red truck rolling across a great emptiness,
blue coupe following behind, trying

to pass, trying to pass, losing hope.
The Ruby Mountains rising as a backdrop

pretty as a centerfold; the desert light
searching out the late morning shade

like prey:   an honest contender for real life
as we stay giddily close to the yellow line.
