‘Lady Dijon’
As I look out past
Lady Dijon’s long, Peterbilt
hood, an epiphany occurs
to me!
The concrete highway
In front of me, and
The roads behind me,
describe my life.
Now you may argue with that
But I can substantiate
what I’m saying.
As I look in my mirrors,
I can see more than
Five million miles behind me.
And all of those miles,
I’ve driven while hauling
Groceries and other freight,
Absolute necessities for
the American buying public.
As I look ahead
I see no end to my highway,
As I continue to chase
My horizons.
