Good car to drive after a war

(Authors Note: Guess which line I stole from a Mountain Goats song.)

We'll use our sentences
for life preservers,
After the war.
We'll use these words for kindling
these songs for insulation
these half-finished novels for rabbit snares

We'll eat our syllables
coated in
lard and cane sugar.

And we'll use this poem to build
a brand new Cadillac XLR
Elektra Blue.
