His green acres slid past her carport,
Lincoln Mercury in staccato effect.
Montana sky blue eyes, grey as Seattle June rain,
say rounded valleys of her hips, rippling
foothills of her ribs.

The air between them is 10 sabin thick,
goes down like cotton or wool, and clings
to their lungs, in-exhalable.

Her chrome and satin, brighter than a prairie blaze,
kills his moonshine motor in mid-stroke.

Where their eyes touch Venusian thunder clouds
smoke with Wyoming lightning spread out
in clean welcoming sheets.

The first dinner lies out- a restaurant in moon perfume
and antique revolutionary candle wax
tied right up to the flower of rubbering bumpers
and high beams.

Her garter Cabaret is a neon stripe of Portuguese
carnival sung by Gregorian nuns.

With a 12 cylinder growl coiled springs
paper and remember,
paper and remember,
under a bicycle pump aluminum slide.

Parabolaed to a pinpoint by vulcanized
inertia her skyscrapers are horizoned.




Boy goes driving,
sees girl,
falls in lust,
and passes by.
