Subject(s): Automobiles; Cars


Like big black cats
Slipping through the leafy park,
They wink at me and seem to blink
When it is dark.

Their yellow eyes, so very bright,
Make trees and road-sides clear as day --
Though it is night.

Their purring deepens to a roar
A rush of air and they are gone --
Still there are more.

As far ahead as I can see
Those blinking, blinding, amber eyes
Are watching me
Like big black cats.
