the car singer

you are amazed at how
you know the lyrics to nearly
every song ever written,
ever played on the radio
from 1960 to 1970,
so when judy's turn to cry
starts playing
you join in.
you are in the music chamber
of your car,
the volume up.
you are in good form
while using
your high pitched girl voice,
singing
along, note for note,
with Lesley Gore.
sometimes people look
over at you
while you make hand gestures
emphasizing the lyrics,
but you don't care,
you are a professional
car singer,
and the show must go on.
