Untitled ("I got an old Bonniville heare, yellow")

By Jack Joseph Smith

I got an old Bonniville heare, yellow of course The crazy son of a gun cut the top off with his blown toueh I said, "now why did you go and do that" And he said, " so the movies wouldn't be first." I like driving it to where not even young lovers go When he falls down in the desert he will fall ontop of one of these saplings That is where the dear rich up between the trees and nibble their supper Then down to the creek It is sort of like picking corn and sipping whisky

A convertible-and-creek poem where rough rural pleasure, movies, and danger meet in one oddly tender brag.


Claude

A yellow Bonneville carries the speaker through a landscape where creeks, movies, and danger converge. The tender brag is about the car's persistence: it is old, it is here, and it is yellow — both joyful and conspicuous.

The misspelling 'heare' slows the word down, giving presence a duration it does not usually have.
