Muscle Cars

Two muscle cars meet,

V-8 engines, spoilers like airplane wings,

shiny low-riders, fat tires, mag wheels,

growl challenges,

circle, stiff, scratch pavement,

sniff each other’s butts,

lift back wheels

and squirt gasoline

against lamp posts.

Light turns green.

Yellow car, blue car, growl,

roar through intersection,

lead packs of traffic,

stink up this highway.
