driving
steve wingate
In this dream I am twelve
and not yet fatherless
Me&my dad in a car
one of thoses beefy old Camaros
before they got too slick
He zips through a couple trees -
not a scratch, I can’t believe it
Then through a pile of brush
and down
“Dad,” I say “you’re the greatest
driver in the whole fucking world”
He says “I try”
Then a beach, wild animals
a jungle, a gorge
and I know he’ll land just perfect
on that rock
that looks sharper the closer we get
