the Peterbilt rapture      

at a truck stop in Salina

that brunette delivered a blow job 

from beyond creation

I mean a blow job that sucked the entire cosmos

black holes and all out of my gonads

it felt like her lips had swallowed everything 

no more weigh stations  

no more speed traps

no more traffic snarls

no more endless miles of dead heading for no pay

she sucked all the bullshit out of my universe

all the ding bats drivers that lack the basic skills

like turn signals and distance judgement  

all the high fuel costs

all the worn-out brakes

all the water in the diesel

all the sadistic dispatchers
she sucked it all up out of my balls

and swallowed it down

I mean holy crap

I thought I’d been drained before

but when she spit my dick outs of her mouth

and crawled back into the passenger seat of my Peterbilt 379

I felt like it was the day of the rapture

and I was just a gutted husk of a human 

left behind in a shamble of ruins

while the pure and the saved 

were wafted to wherever 

the pure and the saved go

to prove to themselves that they’re better 

than the kind of shit that happens in truck stops
