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..
Joe Noganosh has this knife probably to this day

Kerouac would be proud.
