Safe Distance

Additionally, I admit I awaited it
The other shoe to drop

It was me, my fault
Believing too big always

The ’72 Nova Super Sport
Traded before I became of age

The certainty I saw in unions
Disproved before my very eyes

Muscle cars and you and me
Crashed before together began

Ten and Two

Classic, after all, I am a lady
Iconic, as a woman, too
Such as time can be,
How could I have known
When, while yesterday, a girl
Today I’d be enough?

Speeding

You, Pontiac boy
Ever-beaconing muscle-car radio
Oldies songs all the way
Turned up

I, Chevy girl
Ever-grasping the volume knob
Ripped it off, tossed it out
My window

Pictured us
Forever grooving, reminiscing
Life-long love song
We’d drive

This Haiku: Chevy Me

Where will I go with
this day that You created
just for my clear eyes?
