Brief Encounter

He owned the car jointly
with his best friend.
It was very old
and very grand,
a Rolls, Bentley,
Jag, or Daimler
or something
similar.
It made stately progress along my street
and I was unsure whether to wave
queen-like
at the neighbours
or pretend I hadn’t seen them.
It didn’t last, though.
It was a gas guzzler
par excellence
and after just one trip
the four mile journey,
was declared too expensive
and so I was back on the bus,
just one more time!
