Dad's Car Seasoned Well


The heat of summer in his dad's car
The son takes his date to gaze a star
Lover's lane shines on so bright
Two teenagers groins take flight
It was Dad's Chevy's best years by far

Author's notes-What excites me about this poem (and I think it gets unnoticed is line 2). I write ... to gaze a star, which is an example of -jux·ta·po·si·tion because it can refer to gaze at a star (the twinkling ones in the sky, or dad's car, or, oh, oh, other.)??
