67 chevy

we are all
vain,
taking pride
in what
we do,
or own,
worried
at how we look.
even
the monk
on top of the
mountain
praying
in the wind
has on clean
clothes
and a beard
that's
neatly trimmed,
so don't say
a word
to me about it,
as I polish
the chrome
bumper on this
old sweet
ride of a car
before cruising
slowly
towards
the sun.
