My 2013 Ford Focus



My new vehicle goes
about 400 miles
on a smaller tank of gas.
My 2002 Escape went about 250
on a larger tank of gas.
I see the gas station
everyday although
I don't know her name.
When I drive by,
I hear the station
calling out to me:
"Bud, please stop.
Let me fill your tank."
I lower my eyes, embarrassed,
but secretly pleased
at the attention.
Sometimes at night
I go for drives
just for fun to feel the
wind in my hair and
I feel bad for her,
for she lives next door,
just across the street,
and she watches me
as I come and go.
But she'll find someone else
whose tank she can fill.
And sooner or later,
I will pay her a visit.
