gas station in granada


the girl held
a dandelot in her hand
but my arab friend
looked like the engine who ran away
an engine worked without oil

i asked him if he was bought out
but he looked offended

i will make more money now
he said

i will put my product
in all the supermarkets of america
he added

when he gave me a sample
i did not hanged it
from my rear view mirror

no need for trend setting
no political statement

i placed it
under my seat
and it's fragrance exploded
and nobody was able to tell what it was

like fruits
in a tree
color doesn't matter
if it is hidden competition
