Truck Stop
by: Tracy Capello
Scraping the day off his face
the afternoon he knew
that some poor driver would
never again have to think about
the fastest way to get somewhere,
miss another shower or a meal
because of schedules, the lines
and the signs just blistering by,
listen to clacking wipers on a
greasy road, smell warm asphalt lots
paved with urine, fall off to sleep with a
clanking lullaby or some whore knocking,
he stopped to total the hours when
death could have come just as easily to him,
had it been his vein that burst on exit 29,
his truck flying over the rails and down a hill,
his wife waiting for his nightly call.
My Wife
by: Tony “Bulldog” Ramsey (This is a Poem I wrote for my wife while I was away from home and was missing her very much.
When I see the early morning sun caressing the dew-touched meadows,
I see my wife.
The mother of our child
Her love and understanding make our house a home.
She is my wife.
When the day’s been rough and the week’s been long,
I know I can go home to the loving arms of my wife.
Her beauty is only one of her many qualities.
That’s why I’m proud to call her my wife.

18 Wheels of Sadness
Many dreams have passed me by
Many times I sat and cried
Many nights I felt alone
To live like I live on the road
People wonder were I go
They fantasize about being free
They don’t realize the stuff I see
It’s not what it’s cracked up to be
If they only new we were filled with sadness
To have people on every corner begging for money
To park at a truck stop to get some rest
To deal with hookers and pimps and all the rest
Drivers talk trash and hookers talk cash
Racism runs wild over the CB
They call each other niggers, crackers and whores
So many souls have lost their way
Truly a sad thing to haft to say
But day after day the years roll by
It makes me want to sit and cry
But every day I turn the key
When will the madness end for me
I sit and I wonder when this will be
Until that day comes you will see
Another lonely trucker headed towards the sea
