buick dodge and pivot

may first washboard county road
goes ka thud thump thud to The Damned 
stack of cds hop and clack
car innards rattling 

something in there shook loose 
just like me 
gonna stay that way
functioning fine 
just taking a little space 
to feel it’s place 
nobody digging in there to tighten
and no one needs to 
until it breaks

for me though
gotta block the wrenches 
all day everyday

this world of toil and battle
hears a foreign rattle
they want to fix it 
but calm and loosely now
instead of scream and swipe
i’m gonna dodge and pivot
