Heading down Main Street
in his 55 Chevolet.
Hard-top.
Rolled and tucked interior and
a Hurst four-on-the-floor.
Saurian at the wheel
ambivalent to the maelstrom
that surrounded his wheels,
his 55 Chevolet.
Exhaust spumed as he passed
Baskin-Robbins.
He didn't like Baskin-Robbins.
In his black and white world,
caramel apple fudge delight
was the wrong shade of gray.
His 55 Chevolet was red and white.
To his right on the sidewalk
a rose tattoo on an exposed breast.
A nose ring.
Concupiscence? Not a three twenty-seven
with a four-barrel carb.
Glass vibrates as woofers woof.
am doesnt need woofers.
He turned the dial to WLS, then KOMA.
Nothing.
At the end of Main Street he turned into
A&W to turn around. Heading back
by Baskin-Robbins. Turning the
radio dial to nothing.

Ahhhhhh a 55 Chevy! My brother had one of those cars. It was souped up with racing cams, the Hurst shifter and more.

It was painted a banana yellow. That car could almost fly. He won many races at the speedway with it. Sold it for $800 when he got married (wife couldnt drive it) and got a VW beetle. GRRRRR!

Thanks for the memories!
