A Trucker's Load
The trucker taps the wheel listening to the din of the DJ's clamor
Squints his well trained eyes into the formable darkened corridor
The eighteen wheeler's beating rhythms singing a treacherous lullaby.
Bearing great weight from freighters dock onto journey's destiny high.
Experience forges tempered drivers into seeing beyond the moment.
Accidents never experienced but closely encountered emotion spent.
This Behemoth driven by varying touches roaring by calculated inches.
The many below wide mouth to see such adept always near misses.
The dark brings a new set of rules shortening reflexes for any load.
Speed necessary to transport efficiently made difficult on darken road.
Long and arduous this transport filled to brim must go before end.
The long haulers burden of care guarded by weight scales to suspend.
Those who would dare to connect deliveries back to back undaunted.
Falsely filling delivery and truckers log every rule of safety flaunted.
The load safely through by this cautious determined honest soul.
Another day fought for safely by sheer grit bourne on self-control.
Squints his well trained eyes into the formable darkened corridor
The eighteen wheeler's beating rhythms singing a treacherous lullaby.
Bearing great weight from freighters dock onto journey's destiny high.
Experience forges tempered drivers into seeing beyond the moment.
Accidents never experienced but closely encountered emotion spent.
This Behemoth driven by varying touches roaring by calculated inches.
The many below wide mouth to see such adept always near misses.
The dark brings a new set of rules shortening reflexes for any load.
Speed necessary to transport efficiently made difficult on darken road.
Long and arduous this transport filled to brim must go before end.
The long haulers burden of care guarded by weight scales to suspend.
Those who would dare to connect deliveries back to back undaunted.
Falsely filling delivery and truckers log every rule of safety flaunted.
The load safely through by this cautious determined honest soul.
Another day fought for safely by sheer grit bourne on self-control.
