Don Kingfisher Campbell


Car Face 

 

Whenever I drive 

I see them

in front of me


Each vehicle

sports a brand

personality


That Honda CR-V

a glasses-wearing

angry contrarian


looking with disdain

at the mere act

of my following


On the other hand 

this Toyota Corolla

Hatchback eye smiles


broadly like it is

happy to be on road 

logo nose points at me


But the Hyundai

Tucson is a mutant

like one car was


stacked on another

a hideous designer

deadline rush job

 

I become curious

as to what drivers

think of my Nissan


Cube it has a smoky

rear window like

a large forehead


way down too

close set eyes

stare straight


below a Fu Manchu

moustache framing

a license plate mouth 


insidious but not

menacing just like

its aging owner


Watch out for a

Chevy Corvette C8

its countenance is


a four-eyed crab

appearing ready to

bumper devour you


tail pipes recessed

like pinchers waiting

to thrust loudly


OMG a Cybertruck

an alien strip lights

up two corner slits


above a blank shiny

steel trapezoid an

expressionless giant


must have been drawn

by a rascally boy who

became a billionaire
