Hold the knife straight

she idles down and stops

drifts slowly

speedometer "O"

"Goddammit"

she slips behind the wheel

while i dip under the car

unfolding my stainless knife

"Okay!"  I yell

as i connect the two points across

the starter

Sparks fly as the metal arcs and burns

oldsmobile running smooth as a kitten

i climb in toss the knife on the floor

its got great chunks from the blade

wont shut now

we are off though

i punch the cassette in and Hank Williams

starts to moan about a "Singing Waterfalls"

night supreme flows past

three quarters of a tank of gas

sequential-six fuel inject

smooth as sex

we rocket through the night

stainless steel

and hearts full of hope

..O..
