All Hail

Hail left punctuation wounds on the car for which 

she was in hock for seven years. Bad luck! Now what? 

Bruised flat fiberglass of lost innocence steeled her 

to the likely next, not a haboob, but piercings resembling 

the worn out washer-dryer ruined by nail clippings. 

Wearing the scarlet A of being caught 

in harsh weather scars the reputation.
