Festiva Being Gently Used

- a terrible homage to e.e. cummings she being gently -used; and you know a bit loose i was careless with her and (having never changed her oil tested her gas felt of her car bor aytor and knew her springs were k. o'd) i went right to it flooded the engine stalled her out, wore out the clutch (and somehow pulled the e-brake hard wtf) next minute i was back in neutral tried her sparks again turned the engine and brought her all to a bone shuddering stop (and called aaa again).

This gave me a chuckle. It's very unique in form yet I still managed to traverse the meter with no problem. Well done x

Thanks, T. Had one for years and saw an example of that aesthetic excellence on freeway recently with...drumroll...historic plates (!) and thought I'd write a homage to it, cumming's classic, and my metaphorically rocky love life. Heh. Glad you enjoyed it and appreciate the comment.
