The Nevada Poems: Broke Down. Need Help





 Broke Down. Need Help

Stuck in Lovelock 
in front of  a Chevron,
made a cardboard sign,
"Broke down. Need help."

"Need money for tires,"
I try to explain.
 "Home is Montana
two days away."

I hear what they say.
They won't look my way.
"Druggie."
"Loser."

If the Lord is tryin' to teach me about humility
what I'm learnin' is about humanity.
