my everyday transportation
is Saab-like mild-mannered
heavily shielded and slow
practical for driving thru life
for fender benders tiny mishaps
and smile-wave from as I pass
kept in locked garages
are the rest of my emotions
non-bumpered vehicles fragile
often fast and reckless
impulsive sometimes daring
they’ve all been in accidents
and with parts hard to find
and repairs that take forever
it is always painful to tell them
No, we can’t go for a drive
because it often ends up
much more painful
after a Yes
