D Town

Angst Lies flat In the back Of a 57 Chevy Locked down fast Left and turn to rust Red rouge flakes of past Pasted in a D town cemetery Where the rubber burning black Filter smoke filled dreams held back

Very cool poem, Tim. I'm hoping the D-town reference is my hometown Detroit. Such a creative write w/streamlined thought injections. Very cool poem indeed. A revved up 7. Love and best wishes.

Imagism, should try that too! I have a question: what is D town?

D town is Detroit where all the classic cars were made.
