FEBRUARY
the trailing arm
is badly bent
and the right rear tire is falling apart
the accessory belts are badly cracked
and the battery is the wrong size
the center exhaust pipe is rusting out
the rear brake lines are rusty
the fuel tank seam is very rusty
the fuel tank is dented
the fuel filler neck is rusty and smells like fuel
the left rear strut is leaking
the converter is rusting out
the tires are mismatched sizes
the oil looks new and clean
the shade is a sick lavender
my rides are quiet, I imagine money
and less, the sound of the engine
plays for the sun
passing strong walls of snow
my car is a natural setting
for a broken radio |
