Cruising

Excuse me while I kiss the sky.
—Jimi Hendrix
—released in the UK 5/12/'67

my cousin's boyfriend owned
a convertible with tiger print
seat covers, a steering wheel
encased in lamb's wool,
and a dashboard hula doll
swaying with each turn

when he accelerated
shark teeth painted
on each side of
Mustang headlights
tore down the street

Friday nights he drove
the local streets
to the accompaniment
of Jimi Hendrix
