I'M the Car That's New Again

Lathered wet I stand in the gutter,
And quietly move in line,
To the rub that’s a dreamy decadence,
The rub that’s deeply divine.

Then those monster legs begin, 
The twirling, twisting blue and green,
Rumbling, massaging, wiping off, 
Transforming dirt to sheen.

I walk on water as I’m hit with air, 
The pressure and the heat,
Before all arms are up, and 
I’m pushed out to the street,

And I drive for everyone to gaze,
At my beautiful view,
After sitting in the weekly car wash,
Making me shiny and new.
