Lewes | UK
On a visit to my local garage
Where tea and topless girls
Have largely been replaced
By Lattes
And The Daily Telegraph
I can’t help feeling nostalgia
For the smell of spent motor oil
Or the shrill of an electric wrench.
The Garage has been replaced
By the Dealership
Charm…
By procedure.
When my fault is finally diagnosed
The sharp intake of breath
Is familiar enough
But I can’t help feeling
A little cheated
When a man
In a well tailored suit
Finally offers to
‘Shows me the bits!’
