My Car Out Back

 




“My Car Out Back”

 

I write a lot, in the parking spot.

The car stinks of oil.

When I hit the gas, it won’t go fast!

The car is full of soil.

 

The fenders are dented, dirty and marred.

The scratches look like scars.

When I hit the gas, the girls all pass.

Leaving me, at the Bar.

Awesome twist there, the car

Awesome twist there, the car at the bar: leaves a choice of imagery - the depersonification into an automobile or a personification of the human condition as in Lightning McQueen at a bar. Or even more. Pure enjoyment of a poem undergirding the truth that it bares.
