(February the 6th, 2021)
On the way to somewhere,
having left the place
I’d been,
I met a guy who needed a ride,
inside,
out of the wind
so I stopped,
opened the door,
said,
“Where you goin’
friend?”
My carriage wasn’t pretty,
couldn’t get the radio
to work
and you had to sit quite
careful
at risk of getting hurt
so I spoke,
in chagrin,
said,
“…that’s a rusted through
part”.
He said,
“don’t be embarrassed,
man,
it’s not much breeze
and
at least your engine
starts.”
