Arizona 2

8th poem in the collection, Road Noise.

A huge bubble of heat and
    searing sun in the south
“Ping”, I bounce, suddenly
    a wimp heading north
“Ping”, I bounce again and
    tiptoe along mountains
Pinned by heat and the canyon
    down, down to Kingsville
    world’s largest truckstop
