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
