Push back the chrome dinette.
Slow dance on my linoleum
(clock radio knows the hits).
Tonight we cookin’.
Don’t mean no pots and pans.
Burner low, light switch shut,
dance to the blue-flame flicker.
Teflon-tight tonight on my linoleum.

Comeona’ My Kitchen was previously published in 2000 in a now-defunct online magazine called Beachfire Crossing.
John Sangster lives on Lopez Island. His work has appeared in several issues of SHARK REEF. His chapbook, Island Year, was published by Pudding House Publications in 2008. While working on a memoir about a one-year trip he and his wife took across North America, a number car poems began to appear. Those combined with earlier car poems might one day become a chapbook.
