Near Tulsa

A Powers
We were driving near Tulsa,
watching the world go by our windows,
and sweating in the sun-baked can of ours.
And as we neared the bridge, Tommy stopped the Lincoln
and got out.
"Whatcha doin?" I asked, but he was quiet,
and he dropped three pennies into the water.
When he turned back around, he was smiling.
"Toll Bridge" he said.
And little Anne in the back seat
replied "Troll Bridge"
and you could see in her eyes
a little green man eating the pennies.
