Somewhere in this city
is a red Chrysler minivan (Town and Country, 1990-2016).
.
A while ago, probably,
someone christened it with
a pink bedazzled license plate frame
pink flames on the front doors and
two little red decals on the back window—
angel and devil, sitting back to back.
.
Not so long ago, probably,
someone was
Just Married!
and, I guess, drove away in this minivan
(with its pink bedazzled license plate frame pink flames on the front doors
and two little red decals on the back window)
.
Mr. and Mrs. Ditzel
or someone who loves them
took one of those really fat white paint pens and
Mr. and Mrs. Ditzel Just Married! Just Married
all over the red Chrysler minivan.
.
Also hearts
swirls
squiggles.
.
Not too long from now, probably,
Mr. and Mrs. Ditzel
or someone who owes them a favor
might spend an afternoon erasing
the strokes of the fat white paint pen.
(Reddit user ResponsibilitySea327 recommends
a razor blade but
Super-Blackberry19 used nail polish remover
and “did not need elbow grease.”)
Soon, probably,
only those of us who know the
pink-bedazzled-license-plate-frame-pink-flames-on-the-front-doors-and-
two-little-red-decals-on-the-back-window
of it all
will recognize the red Chrysler minivan for what it is:
a red Chrysler minivan of love.
