    The Car

    White

    Kind of mid-sized

    Sort of old

    Okay condition

    Black trim

    Two-door

    Weird seatbelts

    That come from behind you

    There's some ketchup on the drivers side handle

    A trick that works quite well

    There's also a little on the trunk

    Where the ketchup packet was thrown

    At the ketchup packet placing perpatrator

    It's newly cleaned

    But still a little messy

    Random things already litter

    The newly vacuumed floor

    And somewhere you might find

    A dangly gold earring

    And possibly an empty container of Tic-Tacs

    The passenger door sticks a bit

    And the right side

    Of the backseat

    Creaks a lot

    The tape deck doesn't work

    But you can plug in your iPod

    So it's okay

    The brakes are a little grabby

    And the steering wheel has a lot of dents

    The clutch sticks

    But only half the time

    So you have a fifty-fifty chance

    Of making that gear-shift

    The windows are quite functional

    But they fog up really easily

    So you have to leave at least one of them a bit open

    So you can see

    I know this car

    And when I see it

    My heart kind of jumps

    Just a little

    Which is better than before

    And so am I

    I am better than before

    I really like that the whole thing is about the car but at the end you added the feeling.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
