The joy of the highway on-ramp
To and fro
Around the town
Stop and go
Up streets and down
Pedestrians crossing,
Must use caution
Stay alert
through road construction
Shoulder check
Indicate
Follow safely
Don’t tailgate
Drive responsibly
Rules of the road
Ingrained subconsciously
An ethical code
Then finally….
Foot to the floor
Feel the roar
Up to speed
Just a little more
Three second thrill
To help me forget -
I’m driving a mom-van
And not a Corvette.

You think so? I thought the "art" part was putting it into a form people are interested to read, see, hear.... I have no end of observations & reflections but I feel like they're generally pretty boring. Perhaps my standards for myself are too high.

You're penning your life in motion and it's fun to read ....

Brava Titanium! We just got a new car and I got the hand-me-down mommy van. I used to drive delivery.. I found mommies in vans were speed demons 😁 Your conscientious driving would be such a refreshing anomaly here in Texas.

I do try to be courteous on the road. Small-town Canadian..... But I can kick ass in a go-kart!

indeed... the moments
of living between
the everyday mundane
so long
as the soul remembers
this too
shall pass.
