Trailer Life

Trailers are more than a shelter,

They’re a gift from the asphalt god…

They offer the perks of a mansion,

While squatting on a rich man’s sod.

A safe house for an outlaw,

The perfect hide-a-way, ready to roll;

A cabin parked in a Walmart lot,

Cheap housing, for one on the dole.

Trailers are the safety nets,

Where falling addicts crash…

Some trailers are the dumpsters,

And the occupants, the trash.

Some trailers make it possible,

To live on a sandy beach…

There, my psyche got a fresh view,

As my youth slid out of reach.
