The Itinerant Mistress

Working the I-4 corridor,
(Make-up bag holding all her necessities,)
she will need to add a new man to her rotation
if gas passes $4 a gallon.

A speculator manning the keyboard in New Paltz
relentlessly driving up the barrel price
might pick up the fruits of his labor
at a rest-stop near Kissimmee

See, one man's good day
is another man's wife
working the truck stops.

And one woman's clever day-trading husband
is another woman's pit-stop on her way to retirement.

And another rubber hits the road
