Today I mistook a
Big black late model SUV
For the little blue 1981
Dodge Aries station wagon
That we had for over
A decade.
Silly me. They don’t look
A bit alike.
I can’t claim it was
An honest mistake.
I was just wrong.
I remembered the days when
I could recognize and identify
Every car out there
And tell you something about them
But now I can’t even tell them
Apart.
