Dangerous Driving

Blue day too quickly ends
consumed by foggy night.

Proceed with care
or mesmerized by garish light,
you’ll quickly see how
steel sharply grinds
and tears at fragile flesh,

and, too surprised to scream,
you’ll fall into that empty space
behind life’s busy dream.

So keep control!
Hold tightly the narrow wheel
and never let it go.
