Driving through the rural countryside,
We pass the dry, shaved fields,
Striped like the rug my mother used to vacuum:
Up one side and down the other,
Dragging her old gray Electrolux behind her
And singing, her clear alto voice
A bell, resounding, swinging
In the temple of her throat
To the dance tunes of the forties she so loved…
