Then I was entranced
by its blandness, never having owned a car before and unaware of it’s notorious
past. It was kind of homely, fuel
thirsty and too expensive to run.
It remains a mirror to
my relationship at the time. That too
was soured by the failure to perform and frequent breakdowns.
It stalled one day and
I left it by the roadside. Hitching a ride
to another town never to return.

DeleteDear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteThey say that dogs and their owners start looking alike after a while. Could this apply to car owners as well? Nice one.
And...Happy anniversary. Happy to have you aboard.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I don't know Rochelle, I don't own a dump-truck yet ;-)
DeleteThanks for your wishes, I am glad to be on board.
Interesting comparison. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruth, glad you liked it.
DeleteAh.. I guess at the end of the day when even the car is broken there is nothing to keep you.. there are new dust-bowl towns to trawl for cars and girls..
ReplyDeleteCars/relationships sometimes can be hard to repair. Thanks for reading and commenting Björn.
DeleteIt's best to leave those things that no longer work well. They cost too much.
ReplyDeleteLily
That is true too. Thanks for reading and commenting Lily.
DeleteI like the connection you've made between the car and the character. It would be hard to see it sitting there, with all the bad memories it evokes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margirene, I am glad you liked it.
DeleteSubroto, Interesting comparison. Maybe some people choose cars they think look like them. : ) Well written. : )
ReplyDeleteI think I am a Ferrari then (though probably a pickup truck in real life). Thanks for your comment Susan. I am glad you liked it.
