Carla

Inspired by/dedicated to Shawn Frost

He climbs into
An 86 Camaro
Sweet candy red
Slides keys into place
Slips fingers sensuously
Over the shifter knob
Feeling its smooth, cool shape
Grips tightly and
Slams into gear!
No time for fear!
It’s now or never
If your ready or not
Growling engine
Shrieking tires, he
Pushes the pedal through
The floor and to
The pavement hot and slick
A suped up charger
Rearing steed
Leads the heard, 600 strong
Galloping a mighty song
Pallid knuckles
Curve ‘round the wheel
Turning it this way
Spinning it that
Thumping heart in ears
Pounding nerves of steel
Tear drop sweat
Blinds fiery eyes
And whisks away
Ten thousand sighs
She’s burning rubber
She’s tearing treads
She’s smokin hot
But he can’t stop now
He can’t turn back
The thrill’s so deep down
In his veins, that open road
With nothing left
Calls out his name
To play the game
