390-K-W
Adora:
You squeezed
into a one-piece
mounted the rear
of the Rambler
license plate 390-K-W
You rested your legs
between the
rumble seat and the spare
struck your pose,
smiled, showing
what they chauvinistically
called “cheesecake”
We were between
two wars
Thousands walked
the streets
jobs
farms
pride
gone
Lives obsolete
the camera edits all
leaving just the
sassy and young

I guessed on the title being a road in Europe. googled, and found the car.
Amazing snapshot you took of car and woman and hardship and joy, closing the shutter you opened with this:

This a very tight and well-done portrait! So much accomplished with so few words.
That last crispy shot
is so good.
yeah, clean and the list is great too. Nice!

Another keeper, Lee. This works so well as a snapshot of a time, and that ending which expands the piece, perfect.
