The Beautiful Music of My Youth

From my most recent book, "One Sigh Fits All", which was published in 2015.

Cruise control
In the Jesus Chrysler
While glen campbell
Sings easy
About a hard job
He never had
Hugging the contours
Of a double ribbon
Through the rustbelt
Under spectacular twilight
That would make someone
Who's not from the area
Be coloured impressed
And anyone who's used to it
Want to pull down
The driver's side blinder
To focus on
The other idiots
On the road
