Wheel Love

When I read the poem "Jump Cabling" by Linda Pastan, I imagined the beginning of a love affair, only it is the love affair between cars and not humans. "When our cars touched" (line 1). The words in the poem reminded me of the old Disney production of the movie "The Love Bug". The car in the movie was "Herbie" and he talked as if he were alive and human. "To see the intimate works underneath" (3) is almost like when a person is trying to understand one's heart inside a human body, well, the Princess is letting another car check out what's inside making her tick. In another words, the cars have a mind of their own just like we do, and they make a connection.
