a card from Buford

i'm in a relationship

with my

automotive

garage.

one mechanic in particular

keeps

sending me

Christmas cards,

and e mails, telling

me about

all weather tires,

and oil changes.

He encloses coupons.

We've missed you,

he says,

come on in and we'll

rotate your tires,

top off your fluids,

check your transmission

and brakes.

then he signs the card

at the bottom,

in his own hand

with a flourish.

Buford.
