                  ­        An Amazon Driver with Skull Earrings

No, of course he’s not an Amazon; he’s a man
Navigating a big ol’ delivery truck through life
Ferrying to addresses this side of the Styx
Brown pasteboard boxes and white plastic envelopes

I wanted to ask him about his goal in life
But he was in a hurry to turn around
And continue his rowing, so I thanked him
And he thanked me, and I don’t know his dream

A man with skull earrings and muscled arms -
I hope he’s steering toward a happier shore
