Ode to a Turbocharger
Old age and wisdom will always outdo youth and skill.
Big truck turbo diesel— Low thrumming roar High-pitched whine.
TORQUE. TORQUE. TORQUE.
Pony car V8—Same whine Above crackle of glass And a scream that gives
Zero-to-sixty at two-point-eight Tach pegger and Unmatched pleasure.
POWER. POWER. POWER.
V8 champ Stacking pinks, Glories too.
Diesel hero Unyielding beast Dragging ruin to light
When loosed 'pon Death's own Killing bend.
