RAY PIZZI Bassoon "My Truck"

My Truck, Used Bruised and Abused.
Delivering Decades of My Music, Memories, Family Destinations.....and Canine Thrills.
My Sanctuary from Cosmopolitan Chaos, Metropolitan Mayhem
and Urban Dimentia.
Pure American Steel, Untouched by Human Hands (or Car Washes)
Scoffing at the Principles of Aero-Dynamics,
Sneering at Technological Plasticity,
and S-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g the Envelope of Environmental Purity.
Her fading Orange Hue, Still illuminates the
Darkest Recesses of Any Self-Parking Facility.
The Roar of Her Muffler, The Squeel of Her Brakes,
Strikes Fear In The Hearts of the "Upwardly Mobiles"
(who prefer the tenderness and accuracy of valet parking)
My Truck Has Served a Quarter Century of Security, Dependability and Durability...
A Little Rust Around the Edges, A Trifle Off-Color, With a Tendency Towards Noxious Emissions.....Hmmmm..... Whadda Ya Know.....
You ARE What You Drive !


(Dedicated to My Truck a 1975 Scout International Harvester. RIP 1999, murdered by some DUMB SOB on a cell phone).

Ray, A friend sent me your video poem "My Truck" which I really enjoyed. We have a 15 passenger van that we tote our family of 8 around Tucson. As much as I hate that van, it does resemble our character - always room for one more. Thank you, Louis
