First Car
My boyfriend's
Toyota Corolla
Is an old rocking chair,
Formfitting from daily use;
Even mildewed felt a comforting scent.
My boyfriend's Toyota Corolla
Is a jury stand.
Fake leather pressed against a palm.
Anyone can put their hand on a bible
And cross fingers behind a back.
My ex boyfriend's Toyota Corolla
Is a sinking ship.
Salty water seizing up joints;
Stay afloat or say goodbye.
My ex
Boyfriend's Toyota Corolla
Is a forgotten toy on an airplane,
Quickly and simply replaced
By an updated product.
