swinger, circa 1970, painted
a dull army
green
was a piece of junk.
it died on
the highway
coming off the lot.
the window was cracked.
the trunk filled up with
water when it rained,
the whole
thing shook like having
an electrical
shock treatment
when it hit sixty miles
an hour
on the interstate.
the engine smoked,
the oil leaked,
and it ate gas like it
was going out of style,
which it was at the time,
but other
than that,
it was the car i made love
to Martha in,
which seemed to cancel
out everything
else.
