The Passenger


The Passenger


Suddenly, the 
seat belt
Tightens
I check to make sure the airbag
Is on

Right side, left side
front
Rear
blind spot!

The whoosh of my lungs
The double drum of my heart
Locked knees
Clenched jaw

Don't say it
Don't say it
"Can i drive?"

This better count
As my daily 30min
Of exercise.

Teaching Teen to Drive

Teaching Teen to Drive

We arrived alive.
Trying to remind myself
As I unclench my fingers
One by one
The trolley wasn't his fault
Nor was the speedy backer-upper.
The construction zone avoidance
Resulting in random lane merging
Reflects forethought
Right?
