The Mechanic Writes a Love Poem

You got my heart beating at scouring velocity I bet The colors of your paint job would be Flambeau and desert sunset You got more juice than a Holley 650 double pump carburetor As kind and cool as the interior of a 68 continental coach door Your mouth was built with the precision of a go no go gauge Your voice the soothing hum of a well-bathed metal lath With a mind that’s as on point as a floor-mounted drill press The drafting baton that laid down your lines, curvaceous Another thing I noticed is you shine brighter than chrome With the simple yet complex beauty of a geodesic dome
