Ode to a 2004 Honda Element
Galapagos Green and four wheel drive
side airbags and 5-speed stick
a new holder for my iPod

Searched on the internet and found one
dealer said it's on the lot
drove an hour and a half to
eventually look at a parking spot
"oh but wait, there's one 3 hours away
oh wait, I'm wrong and stupid that way."

It's been nice not doing business with you
where's my goddamned car?
No, I wouldn't like a blue one without airbags
and I wouldn't let my own mother drive an automatic
Did I say I wanted one?

Traffic!
