imagine if you can
an empty crayon box
once laden with
primary colors
ones associated with
stark naked winter trees
&
miscellaneous rural Appalachia
Coal Miner Black
Rusty Mailbox Brown
Trailer Park Gray
yet there is that old car
engine replaced and rebuilt
so many times
parts harvested from
totaled vehicles
doors jury rigged from
abandoned sedans to subcompacts
nobody knows make or model
bondo’d endless years
spray painted so many times & shades
there isn’t even a name for its color
