Park It Here For Now
This Car Makes Sudden Stops

The car lurched
Hard
When I threw the column gear
Without slowing
To stop.
The cup holder claimed my hot beverage
Fortunately;
My head spared from dash and windshield
By hard neck,
Anchored to a spine,
Always shoulder-harnessed
To imitation leather
Bucket seats.

Idle,

The running car awaits
Further instruction.
I see a road
Through glass tinted enough,
But dirty
From neglect.
I see a passenger side floor,
Refuse --
Castoffs consumed,
Forgotten,
Always remains.

But road.
What road?
And where have I been?
It's somewhere near dark.
Have I realized yet?
I never enjoy
Finding a side drive,
Make another Y turn,
Redirect this gaze toward home.

What's home?
