Strip malls give way to strip clubs
One hundred fifty miles grind
Alongside mammoth motor homes
The land is changing
She is more voluptuous
Her sins secreted
While in dusty towns
Proud old resentments
Bolted to bricks shout
“Get us out of the United Nations!”
Greasy truck-stop trading posts
Stand between bands of green
Separating coming and going—
Out on the highway
Blue semi driver plays your game
Trading slots and making up stories
Regarding stiff-armed drivers from Illinois
