Learning How To Drive
Sit down at the computer
adjust the font
look forward and back
put it in drive and
ease out on the screen
feed a little gas
your fingers grip the keyboard
you are rolling now
let your fingers
steer you where they want
they may take you down a blind alley
but then you can just put it in reverse
back up and start again
practice is the key
you will get the hang of it
pick up speed
it's feeling good
you're getting more comfortable
behind the poem
you ease off the gas
slow down
almost there
come to a Stop sign
pull to the curb
put it in park
a poem arrived
then you get out and look at it
admire its lines
proud of your accomplishment
glad that you got it there
all in one piece
like learning how to drive.
