A sea of Subarus
Let’s get the brown one
I heard myself say
eyeing a color
I’d not seen on a car before
Because walk out into any HEB parking lot
& tell me you don’t see
at least ten white ones
more than five forest green
Even the bright orange I spot
almost everytime I leave the house
Which is how I came to acquire
an Outback I lovingly refer to as
Cinnamon
She sparkles in the sun
and I know she’s mine
The real question is why
do so many of us need
a car designed for icy roads
here in the heart of Texas?
Some things we’ll just never know.
