the big truck

he's not a farmer,
or a construction worker,
not a laborer
or someone hauling
lumber
and yet he has the largest
truck in
the universe with
wheels up to your waist.
i see him in the morning
when he goes off
to his office job
in his white shirt and tie.
he has to slowly
back in or out
of his parking spot.
but he seems happy
way up there
in his seat once he
climbs aboard and starts
the engine
which blocks out the sound
of anything within
a hundred feet.
