let's go for a ride

my friend, who turned seventy
five
the other
day

said out loud.
this might be the last car
i buy.

he laughed.
but i understood exactly
what he meant.

he tells me about the engine,
the horsepower.

the leather seats,
the manual shift.

he tells me what it does
in the quarter
mile.

even at this age, just a simple
like a car

that goes fast
will make him smile.

come on, he says, get in.
let's go for a ride.
