Searching for a gas station off of the interstate, <br />I drive through the shimmering heat <br />That ruffles my vision of the highway. <br />The image wavers - a mirage floating <br />Like thirst-crazed wanderers <br />Would distrust - my oasis <br />Swims into view: <br />Truck stop.<br /><br />Lillian Susan Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shimmering-heat/
