Corn stubble

Narrow asphalt 

Fifty mile straight line 

From Gainesville 

to Cedar key 

a city, the home 

of the University 

to an island 

In the gulf of Mexico 

most famous 

as a Civil War armory 

Small towns 

and roadside mailboxes 

too many big pick ups

Railroad tracks 

chain link fences 

Spanish moss 

draping over the road 

from the canopied oaks

Closed down landfills 

cornfield  stubble 

logging trucks 

rumble by
