Bumperstickers for plastic cars

I once knew
how to do this.
But I plan to
live a long time.

The slow draw
brings the best water.
If the skin is thin,
the marrow’s hollow.

Snakes lie low until the sun’s down.

A morsel in morning,
repast at last. Check
book’s dates signify
silence or sanddollar daydream.

Her polemics versus
my pole position.
Avenues to explore’re
the devil’s driveway.

Catch & release and solder the solder.

Allot cacophony
and assert desertion.
Oh erase head,
arbitrate my slovenly distortion.
