Back When I Was First Learning How To Drive A Truck


they put me with this guy that 
was teaching me that was so fat
we would go to Filberto’s 
and he would order five burritos 
just for himself but I didn’t get nothing
because there was always something
that was stinking, like cows, pigs, manure,
and a million flies, ‘cause we would deliver 
the food for the animals there 
at the pig farms and cow farms so there
was like, I’m not kidding, a million flies,
big ones too, like this big of a size, 
and that fat guy that was teaching me
he would stick up his knee
on the steering wheel so he could
eat his burrito and then the flies would 
land on it, they wanted to eat the burrito too,
and man, that fat guy wouldn’t even shoo
the flies away, man, he just ate the flies!
