    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.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
