Buick.LeSabre, painted hot      Ed Lasher
pink, popped
as an exclamation                     •I
point against the gray
roar of the road               contrast I 3 1
and the grumbling
of idling engines
lined up at a red stop
light, a thrilling
rarity, like a kid on a leash
or a dog wearing a hat or
some other small
absurdity I wouldn't expect

to delight in.
My own bewildered
smile, translucent
in the window,
startled me.
