Basic Car Wash

I, Subaru
am a monad,
an atomized mobile automaton,
an insect just like everybody else:
Four of my six legs are wheels.

The snow and ice are gone
but poison salt still sticks my underside.

Process:
shell US Dollars out to Shell,
punch code in keypad, pulling
ahead until a red light signals stop
(Jesus-fish and ribbons looping
martial-yellow, cancer-pink down by the drain)
Seducing foam... tsunami wash... senescent rinse...
green light intimating, Thank You. Come Again!
