Prompt: 4/22/2017          cost of living

You with your new not paid for vehicle of luxury
I with- paid for and running- classic cars, three

Monthly bills grand and static
Custom parts ordering fanatic

Service sought at the mighty dealerships
Supporting local shops’ sales and barter-ships

Gas mileage, resale value, basic needs tasked
Drive, engine size, does she purr when asked

Running on time, assumed magic and fixed with money
Blood relationship developed- smoother than pure honey

White because it hides the dirt
Blue because we’d rather flirt

You pay the cost of new tag, insurance and payment
I pay the price of tires burnt out on the pavement

We’ve different needs “you” and “I”…
The difference is found between my road trip warrior
And the race car driver I keep hidden inside.
