the brochures from the car manufacturers
all promise a new life
with untold dreams and adventures
a new car brings youth and beauty
if not you, then the insincere fuck
who thinks you to be rich
dynamic
or less bland than your wheels

its all the same
aside from the specialist motors
the hearse companies
the dreams they peddle are more permanent
the new life is open to debate
there’s no need for a cup holder
although one for the urn would be useful
and the test drive is never repeated
