was 29 cents per gallon
at Scott's
on Indian Head highway.
the oil cans
were stacked
perfectly
outside the office.
a gleaming work of art.
six pumps
and a man dressed in white
with green
trimming,
a hat,
black brimmed
pulled down,
who came out to pump
and wipe
the glass. he'd lift
the hood and
check the oil.
the air in each tire.
sometimes you'd
get a cup
or a plate for filling up.
they'd
wave.
you'd wave.
then off you'd go to
some sunny
holiday parade.
