Who was the girl behind the wheel of the old Dodge convertible leaking oil?

Apr 1, 2016

Who were you when you took off like speedo

for sunny California, radio full blast while dreaming

awake? Who was the boy? Who was the girl behind

the wheel of the old Dodge convertible leaking oil?

Was he or she the one who went blind from the

dust of the open road, rivulets of rain running

down muscle and swollen veins?

Did you light his cigarettes?

Did she light yours?

Who snatched the zippo from a store in Wyoming

with a cow or James Dean embossed in black on

the phony metal?

What town, or state of mind did you grow tired

of laughter and maybe love?
