hello class

I've spent many a night at that damned truck stop. Mostly I try to block out the sounds, like the truckers' conversation. I suppose once in awhile I do lose my focus and get lost in that country music and that lyrical speech of the organic trucker culture. Yes, it does seem as if the "music of life" is being orchestrated right before my very ears. Beautiful, surreal, magical even?
I recently took my tape recorder out there to see if I could catch a few precious moments of euphoric grunge- I listen to it every night to get to sleep and now I end up talking to my dearest friends about my that 6-point I flattened the other night as I was cruisin' 96mph on the freeway through North Dakota.
