The Smell of Chrome

The smell of chrome

is strongest near the rust

and where  the rubber

bullets used to be,

more nipples

than weapons,

though to some,

both are the same.


I run my nose close,

not touching,

the brown crusty rings

in the gleam,

and up the side,

where the thin spray

rises to a glorious tail fin.


And smell is strong enough

to carry me

back fifty years.
