is there a horn?

you hop into the new
car and start down the road.
what are all these buttons
for you ask the car salesman
as you begin to push them.
he rolls his eyes and pushes
your hand away from
the console. eyes on
the road he says. those are
for bluetooth and xm, and
the internet, and over there
is your nav system, back
up camera and blind spot
alert. the red one starts
and stops the car. that button
there is for the automatic
moonroof and back door.
the green button saves
you gas. and the orange
one puts you into all
wheel drive. if you pull
that lever you turn
on the lemon water spritzer
that comes out of the overhead
light for really hot days.
oh, you say. hmm. i like
it. what about a horn, is
there a horn? i like to beep
my horn sometimes.
