Poetry: Want

Chrome glittered,
in the evening sun.

like sparks from
a machine gun!

It was going 150
when standing still.

I drooled drops
behind the wheel.

screech and scratch.

on to the freeway
100 like that!

Back to the lot

I drive away
with a smile on my face.

Saved for years
thru bad and thru grace.

Now I got it
my want satisfied.

Driving down the road,
all filled with pride!

    Much the same as a bar filled

    I breathe in.
    Deep.
    I try to find the words to name the feeling.
    My throat is begging me to exhale, but
    I keep my lips shut
