please, steal this car

i drive my old

car, a chevy impala,

into the city, down into

the dark

veins

of the streets where you

don't want to break

down, or get

a flat tire.

i'm done with this car.

the oil burning,

the leaks,

the wipers don't work,

the radio is dead,

it's a heap.

maybe just maybe i can

get it hijacked.

i'll leave it running

with a key in it.

i'll leave snacks and drinks,

all sorts of treats

for the thieves.

it's on me.

please, take it, steal it.

it's free.

no need to clobber me

on the head

with your gun, or threaten

me.

i even filled it up with

gas.

please, take it brother, 

have some fun.
