Building Roads with Alden

Audio Recordings, Poems about Poetry / June 13, 2022 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

If there comes a time when truck drivers read poetry, mine will be the poetry they'll read - Alden Nowlan

I'd like to think
if someone from the day shift
had left a book of Alden's on the seat
and I'd picked it up
while waiting for the spreader
Young tho I was and trucker proud
of the silver badges on my belt
and the black ribbon we were laying
he'd have had a hard time getting it back
