Etta James from LP by wormburner

Van for sale. Shocks strained from ten years of hauling indicative weight. Rusted edges with light damage from disputing minor collisions all around the frame. Locked joints in need of anointing for re-connections, that used to be tight. Two hundred and forty thousand miles of load on an engine drained. A mess inside, trashed and cracked upholstery patched back together just to get by. Tape deck (not CD player) that works to mask a silence left unaddressed. We’ve run quiet before, but this is deeper than an easy fix. And we’ve been here before, stuck at a stop between backward and forward falls. Stall’s in more than one way. Has replaced brakes. Badly needs oil changed, fresh blood for one last start to circulate the sludge from the drains. Drive shaft’s soft torsion have stressed the wheel’s rotations. Causing a lack of torque to propel us at all.
