Abandoned truck: photo by Adam Knowles, 14 October 2005

It hasn't worked from its mechanical infancy really

I once met an Indian, who said
Apropos my broken down pickup truck
When an Indian's pickup truck breaks down

He just leaves it in the bushes beside the road
And walks away, less
Trouble that way in the long run

Because anyhow that hunk of grief was never worth fifty dollars
