today

it was

finally time

for

my car

the red devil

to move on

to a new owner

 strong

and steady

but not

a very hearty

long distance

winter companion

like

a friendly and loyal gorilla

who just can’t quite

make it up a hill

bought my shiny silver car

saleswoman said

i knew

you were the perfect person

for this car

when you asked me

to program in

the npr station

and i sang

all the way home

like

a silver canary

who was just a bit off-key.

“gossip is the devil’s radio.”
