Berlinetta
L Vargas

only a few
teenage boys
know just what it is like
to be
in the drivers seat
of a Camaro
though they may not know it at the time
they are so very fucking American

as I was
listening to heavy metal
and driving drunk
pissed off at my father
and girls for not wanting me
down straight dark southern roads
with my foot on the floor
six cylinders open wide and furious
and the engine smelling of burnt fluid
over a hundred
and my Camaro
to me
was America
and me the President
