it moves me to drive
this portable roadside life
through ever changing scenes
played out in temporary domesticity
My car is the way i am
organised, meticulous
a well-oiled sense of continuous pride.
Passengers respect my code
as I pilot them to a fixed point.
My car is an office
delivering lectures, conferences, and sales
a workhorse steed
shining up the motorway
gallantly troving the distances
between failure and success.
My car is a source of knowledge
of mysterious parts
greater than the sum of the whole.
A creature that responds to
wrench, drench, dabble and tweak
with torque and turbo
and increased know-how.
My car is a necessary evil
putting personal needs above
community, planet, and nature.
I can reduce consumption
and collateral damage
but can't stop shopping, school runs and outings.
My car is a fantasy and a weapon of death
a journey that last a lifetime
beginning with a single spark
a miracle of modern engineering
the mixed blessing
of human ingenuity,
The source of the question and the answer.
