Driving The Freeway

you'll see them 

on the freeway

driving pickups 

festooned with flags

and if you ask them 

they will say 

they're patriots

as are we 

compatriots

who hold them

in disdain

hooligans at heart

they intimidate

driving line ahead

like battleships

or three abreast if they can

making it hard to enjoy

a peaceful drive

and being an American

a yes we can American

living free

who'll vote for liberty
