It Was A Thirteen Hour Drive (Bussokusekika)
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
About this poem
Well I think I may have slept three hours last night and I rose early to drive back to Van horn after a El Paso run…And I drank me around 8 seagrams for breakfast and drove another 950 miles back to rainy California…950+375=1325 miles in two days…In my youth it would not have been all that bad as someone once sang about spring chickens…Plus I lollygaged for at least two hours oh well…
