Driving Love

by Gloria Nazzaretta
Poetry
Love is not only blind it’s stupid.
Fresno Bee News in Brief:
Man accused of stealing 26
cars to see girlfriend


If love is as simple to find
as picking turquoise gum
among the flowers,

finding empty soda cups,
bottle tabs and cigarette
butts in the shrubbery,

could one tell the difference,
chewed on blue gum or
semi-precious turquoise.
love? Not love?

Antonio Moreno from
Inglewood thought so.
He stole twenty-six Camry
and Nissan cars to visit
his girl in Santa Barbara.
In 120 days.

Could that compare to writing
one hundred sonnets for one
woman?
