Another full load of logs
Fourth trip in six days
Down to Pacific Coast.
Badly need the cash.
Some rig maintenance, licence renewals
Shouting for attention.
Wife is anxious about
My energy, alertness.
All hopped up on caffeine and
Power drinks.
One stop at Merle’s Diner, half-way.
Probably chat briefly with
Some regulars, needing the stimulation
Eggs and Alberta steak.
Light snow now, about 75 mm (3 inches)
(Damn that metric, liberals arm squeeze.
Yankees never went thataways.)
Troublesome ridge to this section of road.
Patsy Cline music on the radio.
Coasting, sliding toward margin.
Only cheapest of guardrail installed.
Might stop a Chevrolet, or Silverado
But not me.
Am I jack-knifing.
Well here goes…
Lord, help me.
