GRAVEYARD OF THE CHEVYS

By John Grey. Published on April 2, 2023.

I was in that car graveyard

dodging rats,

stepping over busted glass

and mangled metal,

steering clear of snapping dogs,

for five minutes of time

with this smelly

oily paunchy guy,

a week unshaven,

few teeth,

telling me he got the part -

for my Chevy that is, not the movie of my life
