The Itinerant Mistress
By cadymae
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

Stories interwoven even though the participants are probably unaware of the connections. So damn well put.
