Jalopies

eventualities don't apply to me no matter their presence in the mirrors of reality always one step ahead though the shrinking distance haunts like an early frost - too early as the news carrier's tracks die in frost bitten shock eventualities be damned A proud GTO once sneered at the pitiful jalopies that soiled the curb a roaring young engine never once to glance at those left behind the defunct riffraff that Pontiac replaced eventualities be damned now their value measured only by the thump of a Mecum gavel the showrooms now occupied green princes and hybrid youths who sneer at discontinued glutinous appetites while the GTO like a deserted lunar excursion module waits for the next apollo mission still I've learned to celebrate today until my "jalopiness" overcomes me eventualities be damned
