HAY TRUCK GODS

Uplifted faces keep
track of the truck
up and down the road
in each pasture –
everywhere it goes.

They would follow
the diesel’s purr
            into forever.
            Empowered so
with such blind trust,
            a mortal must
            be careful not
to believe everything
            he thinks
            he knows.

Taken for granted,
he’ll discover disciples
with minds of their own.
