TRUCKS ARE FOR KISSING

you told me you'd meet me at the mailbox  
the one at the end of your driveway.

i drove in the dark in an old red truck  
the yellow glow of antique headlights.  
you appeared so suddenly   
as new light from old filament beamed through  
older glass  
illuminating your body

that ribbon of brunette hair rolling down past your waist

you squinted and covered your eyes  
i turned off the lights  
and when you kissed me  
breath defying electricity  
in the dark  
engine rumbling and, hearts pumping  
driving us far faster than these old wheels could  
ever go, on a good day  
but it sure was  
a good night.
