1978 Camaro, Yellow

by Chris Middleman


1978 Camaro, Yellow

I lost myself today, thinking about
the years of scientific & economic
progress that created the possibility

of my teenage mother hearing a Cars record
crackle through stock Chevy speakers
while she sped home down Reeceville Road

Reception good on a flashy Philly FM station
in the rural neighborhood where she grew up
Where they still have no streetlights
