Pearly white shimmering like the moon but bitter paint Crisp fiber glass trim like railroad tracks but with worn and chipped edges Sharp turns and burning tires that are used to perfection but never meant to last An extra cab that carries as much as the trip offers but never stays neat Unlike any other machine
kinks and dents that make it talk but it will not pledge Rust and cracks that give untrusted potential but never one fault Smoke and dust giving a sole smell like an old furnace but never discreet Old and cliché as one can absorb but always a second look if one cares Unlike any other machine
Eight metal slots maneuvering in sequence like a horse that cannot halt Additional attachments like a soldier ready to charge that will not give Lights like the beams in a prison camp that cannot be fixed Memories and lessons as strong as life can get that always intervene Unlike any other machine
