“’67 Black Impala” by Allie Marini Batts

aggressive
as the bad-boy leather jacket
but better cared for
quarter panels polished
& tipped in chrome

tilt the wheel
flat-palmed, one-handed,
shift gear & she moans in V6
while the second skin of denim Levis
sweet talks the swell of a bucket seat

way past curfew, shimmy down
the drainpipe, run spaghetti-legged
to meet him, joyriding till dew & dawn
gloss the hood of a car he will always
love more than me

-Allie Marini Batts
