Cravings

by Laurie Kolp

I once owned a corvette
candy apple red
and just as sweet a bite, the ride
like an orgasm

uncontrollable,
the letting go too soon
losing momentum

breakneck, the lengths
it drove me to
cruise all over the place
in and out of bad neighborhoods

just because I loved
the thrill
of zipping
through traffic

a high, my mind on speed
when I wanted a drink.
