A Quick Truck Trip

 A Quick Truck Trip

A quick truck trip 

Chevy Silverado 2500 

white work truck

22K miles 

in Dawsonville, Georgia 

but wait! another offer – 

a gentleman from Raleigh

just saw it and left 

but changed his mind halfway home 

and wants it now 

“it’s our policy,” 

the salesman said,

“that if someone else 

is already on the way,

we still show it.”

so we looked 

you drove 

I rode 

we talked 

we offered 

they rejected 

we walked 

an hour later 

you got a slew of pictures 

of this truck

with a promise:

“if the gentleman from Raleigh changes his mind,

 we’ll call you on Monday.”
