Explore "The Trucker" by Edward Dyson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
If you want a game to tame you and to take your / measure in, / Try a week or two of trucking in a mine / Where the rails are never level for a half-a-minute's / spin, / And the curves are short and sharp along the line.
Try the feverish bottom level, down five hundred / feet of shaft, / Where the atmosphere is like a second suit, / When the wash is full of water, and you've got to / run the graft, / For there's forty ton of gravel in the shoot.
