Ihanaa Carveria…olisin halunnut ryhtyä tämän tekstin villitsemänä heti lukemaan häntä, mutta kun se valitettavasti on näitä kirjailijoita joista on aina halunnut intoilla ystävilleen ja on väkisin lainaillut heille kirjoja ja nyt ne ovat kaikki "lainassa" maailman turuilla. Toivottavasti niistä on ollut iloa nykyisille haltijoilleen. Yhtä paljon kuin minulle aikanaan esim. "Elephant"ista.
Runoantologiansa on kumminkin edelleen hyllyssä:
The car with a cracked windshield. The car that threw a rod. The car without brakes. The car with a faulty U-joint. The car with a hole in its radiator. The car I picked peaches for. The car with a cracked block. The car with no reverse gear. The car I traded for a bicycle. The car with steering problems. The car with a generator trouble. The car with no back seat. The car with a torn front seat. The car that burned oil. The car with rotten hoses. The car that left the restaurant without paying. The car with bald tires. The car with no heater or defroster. The car with its front end out of alignment. The car the child threw up in. The car I threw up in. The car with the broken water pump. The car whose timing gear was shot. The car with a blown head-gasket. The car I left on the side of the road. The car that leaked carbon monoxide. The car with a sticky carburetor. The car that hit the dog and kept going. The car with a hole in its muffler. The car with no muffler. The car my daughter wrecked. The car with with the twice-rebuilt engine. The car with corroded battery cables. The car bought with a bad check. Car of my sleepless nights. The car with a stuck thermostat. The car whose engine caught fire. The car with no headlights. The car with a broken fan belt. The car with wipers that wouldn't work. The car I gave away. The car with transmission trouble. The car I washed my hands of. The car I struck with a hammer. The car with payments that couldn't be met. The repossessed car. The car whose clutch-pin broke. The car waiting on the back lot. Car of my dreams. My car.
