Ann Arbor, Michigan: The Sixth Garage
No Va
Chevy
Nova, bright red,
my thoughts...with schooled driving
coursing through my veins, I take wheels
and go
shifting
power steering,
breaking--stopping--coasting
"no parking" bending forty-five
degrees
driving
the rough terrain
dirt roads direct to hell
for my father, changing gears, his
request
pot-holes
dipping, plunging,
bucking, embarrassed car
parking, my driving lesson, sadly
ending
