Anything's Possible

Robert Joseph Mattingly 1957 (Brookline, Massachusetts)



A red corvette traveling along the square
With her headlights on low beam
Speeding as fuel races through her engine.
Then the bright lights clicked impulsively.
The red corvette's headlights hit head on
Into a green GTX which stands there
Long, well-built, with a long engine.
Sparks flew which the eye can't see.
As the red corvette caught his exterior
Then explored his interior,
The green GTX tried to crank his engine
And later on a flame took fire.
Both cars are not totaled,
Repairing won't be expensive
Because of aging
And when both cars are fixed,
Maybe they'll run into each other again.
