Gorgeous poem!
This is one of my faves from you and the opening stanza just 'got me'. I can reach out and touch that car from your words! Fantastic!

Mobikes are, or rather were, another passion of mine. I once took part in dirt-track racing but failed miserably, like Jack fell down and broke his crown. Rebuka thanks you profusely for wishing her a happy birthday.
from your desert prince.

wigopa, I remeber them well, and that car pictured was one of my favs...
I had a '59 Chev Impala myself (my 1st car), that wasn't in any way "shy" when the opportunities arose..

I remember the days.....
I first had a 1957 Chevy and it ran faster than I could think. Later I bought a 1967 Mustang, Dark Green Jade Metallic and I promised myself that I would not race it. But almost every time I was on a certain drag in Waco guys would pull up beside me ata red light and they just a look of challenge about them. When the light turned green it was off to the races. I tore out so many clutches that I almost went broke. My how things have changed. I set my cruise control now on 60-65mph and just glide along.
People pass me up as if I were setting still. They even pull into a gas station before I do. ha! Thanks for the reminder!

I definitely remember a boy that bought a used 1954 Ford that had originally been a police interceptor. It would drag like no other I've ever driven and I wouldn't let him take it above 80 when I was with him. He loved that thing. You give us lots of good posts, wigopa.
