the three feature drive-in

i used to wash

and wax

my car all Saturday

afternoon,

getting the shine on

for a date

to the drive-in.

inside and out.

buffing the baby moons

with a chamois rag.

wiping the seats

down,

front and back.

clearing the windshield

of leaves

and dust.

i'd check the oil stick,

the radiator,

then gas.

then it was my turn

to shower

and shave, 

find the good jeans,

and clean

shirt. get all dressed up.
