PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I had energy and sparked,

provided lightening to engine

and air conditioner parts. Power

windows ran on my acidic juices.

My best friend forever

was a catalytic converter.

Less fond of motion now,

I repeat my tasks daily

pushing my key keeper past 

contented miles. Here, every

thing works because I am alive

Take me away and death

by battery happens.

I am the heart of the matter

but it is more out of boredom

than exhaustion that I give up

my chemical ghost. And since

recharge is more expensive

than replacement and rebuilding

less reliable than brand new,

I go to the battery graveyard

content to have served my

gas provider well.
