Barbara Gorelick Poet Verse

The Automobile- a Synasthroesmic Poem

The amazing, incredible, wonderful car
This extraordinary , inexplicable part of who we are

The big, the little, the long, the short, the bus
An exciting, capricious  part of the kid in us

The clunker , the hybrid, the  grand Roles Royce
There are  dozens, hundred, for your choice

Depending on the dinero ,the dollar, the pence in your purse
Or if your a CFO, a poet, or a lowly nurse (me!)

There are just the wheels out there for you
Be they black , green, white or shades of blue

To be sure we love, hate, enjoy the automobile
Yes, for  almost all of us  it has an  addicting appeal....
