Pickup

A redneck in a pickup truck
with a cracked windshield
and a pit-bull hanging his head out of the passenger's side
revved his engine at me today
and I swung my hips despite myself.

Great poem. Guess I'm a voyeur/well wisher. Found your blog Googling "Tat Tuam Asi." (Led me to your 2006 post on that topic.)

Like Margaret Atwood? check out A.S. Byatt. (Try The Biographer's Tale for a start.)

As for tat tuam asi: check out Jeddah Mali. Wow.

Thanks for your kind words, and for stopping in to take a gander. I love Atwood, and will be looking into A.S. Byatt & J. Mali asap :)

People make the best recommendations here!

I inclination not acquiesce in on it. I regard as warm-hearted post. Especially the title attracted me to be familiar with the whole story.
