Race Car Driver
Grown up hot wheels
race asphalt-spaced lines
passing slower-vehicles
115 km/h our traffic speed
not a legal 100 otherwise how
could anyone make it to
Hamilton on the 401
for spaghetti supper at 5 pm?
Cruising from Kingston
to Napanee past geese-flapping
flocks of V’s past horses
grazing on early shoots of green.
Stares from window lookers
at the Esso turnoff during our
respite easily see I am
the only praying passenger.
