To
Emily and to Life
alive!
somehow
that word has meaning
now
after
the sledge hammer bang
of
on-coming traffic
full
sized reality
does
terrible things
to
my little toy
after
the close friend of
one
hundred
fifty
two thousand
two
hundred
thirty
nine kilometres
is
reduced to scrap
God
looks after us!
it’s
nice to know
when
we are operating right
it’s
really impressive
when
we are kind of stupid
so
what
that
Emily is dead
affection
for
a ton of steel
is
foolhardy
I
still walk this world
I
still praise my God
I
rejoice in that
After
Emily stopped a Chrysler, shoot!
Emily was my 1984 Chevette coupe.
