picking strawberries

lost in God's country,
i make a right at the light,
then left
at the filling station.
there's a billboard
the size of a drive in
movie screen 
asking me to vote for
Stanley Kowalski for sheriff.
i see the water
tower up ahead and veer
to the round about,
which i go around
a few times and get dizzy.
i look at my phone,
my garmin, my road map.
i'm in the middle of 
nowhere. i pull over and
stare a cow on the other
side of the fence.
he looks at me chewing
his cud, whatever cud
may be and shrugs.
and now i have to pee.
i call becky jean and tell
her i'm going to be late
for out date picking
strawberries.
