The sign advertises truck parking,
and the place smells like smoke.

A woman in a black leather vest
is arm-wrestling a shirtless toothpick.

The shirtless toothpick
is complaining about foul play

but after a second defeat
he hands over twenty dollars.

The bartender says, “Another?”
and everyone at the bar nods.
