overhaul

By Rebecca Clifford

I long for the day when the local garage

can put me up on the hoist

change out the old and brittle for young and supple

let the cellulite out of my spare tire

and adjust the headlights

so my bra fits better.

Rebecca Clifford’s poetry and prose appears in national and international journals and e-zines. She lives rurally, near a watershed, gardens with a backhoe, and plants as many sunflowers as the ground will hold. She is supported by her long-suffering husband and a disdainful cat of questionable parentage.
