Driving

I drive a car
probably six times a year
mostly my mother's
aging but stalwart
2003 Chevy Malibu

after living for years
in Chicago
where there is no pressing
need for cars
it provides a foregone thrill

no quite but close
to the joy
of the newly licensed teen
over come with freedom,
speed, and lush mobility

who knew those old days
could be recaptured
with prolonged abstinence?
