Truck

4 Poems by A.J. Huffman

Backwoods Belles

little girls will ask

and realize nothing

with humiliation at the hands of truck stops and motels

yet a short suppression of experience

doesn’t stand still

au contraire

it’s an inherently vague concept

carefully tested

to choose the consequence of traditional chance

and overwhelmed by several years of new therapy

the correct answer to the question

is “no”

Buried Treasures

go ahead and wash it

what does size have to do with anything

remarkable calculations go for the bold

i imagine again

the way your skin looks

the unique fusion of body love

and resilience

it’s a star-struck match

in a hot batch of anything but predictable

For Masochists Only

rampant charges of discretion

should be able to achieve

a moment of opportunity to communicate without words

if only your life can switch down

and enjoy the battle

you’ve got to win

[Ad]Just Dance

Black.

             Blank.

                         Unblock.

Whispered stop.

One threw four.

Stomp turn.

Ball/chain(ge).

Restart?

How retro.

Groove the way.

Gouge it out.

Sideways.

Spinning deeper.

Paint it silver.

And label it:

Solid Gold.
