Driving is a skill of mine.
I will drive
and I will hit people
(only if they get in my way)
and boom! I will use that led foot-
and By God get the hell out of my way!
And I will sit on that horn
and I will make
that damn car move!
I swear it
right here
and right now
on the grave of some dead relative
who I never did like.
I will drive whether the world likes it or not.
On the wrong side of the road!
I will cruise and swerve
only when I feel like it.
No! No! No! Stop signs and stoplights cannot stop
me.
(Beware, here I come.)

I had written about my inability to drive. Well, I changed my mind.
