old wheels

man drives old car to car dealer,
says, "here to look at new car."
talk talk talk
cream puff
dream on wheels
floats on air.

man looks at sticker price,
looks at his old car,
looks at clouds.

man drives down highway,
says to his old car -
"you win; let's go to the movies!'

man answers 500 e-mails;
computer hot as iron skillet.
499 e-mails say "buy Viagra!"

man turns off computer
walks outside:
slanted moonrise,
20 million insects,
1 million frogs
being real.
