Birds of Pray

Audio Recordings / tagged Cars, Collecting, Planes, Spending / August 2, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

When burning the seeds
of wants posing as needs

arrives, as it mostly does
at ouchy-ego-economic pains
cars are still cheaper than planes

Author’s T-bird collection: a red 1955 and two black 1956s (Photo Calgary, Alberta, mid 1970s.)

Convertible Weather

Audio Recordings, Travel / tagged Cars / August 1, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Driving real through the world
in a motorcycle
that won't fall over on your foot

Wind is wind
smells are smells
and sounds are sounds

and the sun
is the sun with a hat between
and all that you see is fully seen

And cool as you are they see you too

Buicks

Audio Recordings, Family, Haiku / tagged Cars, Confidence, Success / June 20, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Our father drove Buicks
we knew that we would succeed
the road had been paved

Glider

Audio Recordings, Travel / tagged Cars, Freedom, Happiness, Joy / February 4, 2026 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

My heart soars like a hawk
- Chief Dan George

One of those days
(and I wish you many)
with the wind at your back
matching the speed of your car
and the top down or sun-roof open

And you a brother
to every soaring bird in the sky
untethered and feathered and at peace

Night Shift

Audio Recordings, Nostalgia / tagged Cars, Small Town, Youth / August 23, 2023 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

They swoop
from beneath the eaves
carving an invitation
to the big red ship

Come slip your moorings
and follow us across the sea

Buicks

Audio Recordings, Family, Haiku / tagged Cars / June 19, 2022 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Our father drove Buicks
we knew that we would succeed
the road had been paved

Mirages

Travel / tagged Cars / August 30, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

The thing about mirages
I mean the ones on roads
the ones on deserts are all about thirst

The thing about mirages on roads
is that your tires never go flat
and the girl beside you
never moves out from under your arm
