Galaxie 500

Galaxie 500

Teenage boys pile into the rusted and dented 
maroon sedan from another time.

The 292 with mechanical lifters comes to life with the rasp of a muffler 
whose days are more than numbered.

Sounds of freedom and rebellion bellow from a stolen 8 Track.

Time to escape the mundane…
 
Time to push the limits of consciousness and sanity.

As we drift the airborne car comes down with a crash — steering hard avoids a tree.

The smell weed, beer, burnt oil and rubber fill the air.

Once again we have landed and are back to the past.
