Thoughts on Shortcake

I like to think of my car

as the Millennium Falcon.

Sure, it’s old, beat up but

still it rescues Luke on time.

I like to think of my car

escaping from Darth Vader

while the stars become straight

lines to guide me home.

I like to think of my car

as that transport between two worlds,

Of light and dark forces.

I like to think of my car

victorious on Endor

as the fireworks and drums

sound off a new beginning.
