Travelin' Man, a Poem

Travelin’ Man

Copyright 2009 By

Travelin’ man

sales man

visions, views

sights of asphalt

trash, paper, ice

snow

blowing in vacant

car-haunted

parking lots facing

weed-choked yards on

the verges

of bad sides of towns

all along the

cancerous concrete sprawl that is

the East Coast.
