A poem ... about me! The Road Warrior?!
I turned on Facebook and found this — a poem by the talented Brad Werner in Arizona, who was somehow inspired to write a poem about me and my projects.
I'm honored!!!
.. and so I'm posting it with my travelin' boots here, all dusted up. And, my Mad Max "Road Warrior" boots that are like second skin to me. I'm in Australia, right!
don’t muss with cuss
she’s a road warrior
looking for some wheels
always finds adventure
nipping at her heels
she stays one step ahead
of what the dealer deals
yet at every encounter
with silent glee she squeals
dreading the perfunctory
opportunity she steals
can’t wait for it to knock
she grabs it as she feels
kraving delicious story
magazines beg to be written
every mission remarkable
for her you cheer once bitten
her photographs speak
a thousand tongues
shared ten thousand miles
beyond her people’s lungs
she adopts her hosts
and they her passion
weave everlasting bonds
beyond timeless fashion
this tireless road warrior
shares the world’s appeals
but you’d better watch out
once she finds her wheels
