May The Road Rise Up To Meet You: A Novel - Plot & Excerpts
But here he is riding right alongside him. Complaining he should be the one to hold Soldier’s reins. Jeremiah’s good with horses, but even better at complaining. It’s almost an hour riding in from the Barnes place west of the city. With Jeremiah running off at the mouth the whole time. Talking about how the Massa sent him to go and see about the filly Mr. Barnes wanted to sell. He’d complained for most of the ride to the Barnes stable, and now for most of the ride home. Talking about how that means the Massa respects his opinion when it comes to hawses. And his backward logic makes him somehow think that it means he should be the one holding the reins now. Driving this cart, that Micah takes every day. Driving Soldier, who goes with him every day, too. But Micah wasn’t having any of that right from the start. This was the last day of two weeks working at the Barnes place. And Jeremiah was just along for the ride. Left to complain from the passenger side of things. Until. You a nigga jus’ like us.
