riding her

(inspired by ‘she being brand new,’ E E Cummings)

Edward said she’s new, very new (Virginal, you might say)
but she’s been properly tuned
and lovingly lubricated

we, being over-anxious, almost prematurely
flooded her engine
the stick shift is sticky, we misjudge
and jam it in (reverse)
she bucks like hell!

we regain our composure, slipping properly thru the gears,
low into 2nd, and, by the advantage of studly horsepower,
vigorously into high
cruising now down that divine highway,
we floor the gas pedal and she responds (omygod!)

at the proper moment, we apply the breaks
(you’ll know when it’s time oh yes!)
that contract (out her) and expand (in her)
and she trembles, exhales, and comes to a deadstop.

we rode her along with him
and we Arrived

Orgasmically…
