New Car

first gear, second gear  
third gear, fourth
fifth gear, drive away
on the road north
 
on the right mountains rise
on the left the sea
up and down, curve around
just the car and me
 
on and on another song
is playing on the phone
music which was downloaded
when I was at home
 
up above two eagles soar
as I drive beneath
where they fly in the sky
a vision which is brief
 
fourth gear, third gear
second gear, then stop
reaching Lions Bay Cafe
parking by the shop
 
glittering and shimmering
Howe Sound in the sun
the view from the parking lot
enhances all the fun
