A Car Once Driven
I've driven this car before
Long before the seats buckled
And the windows only stopped halfway
I remember the first time I put the key in the ignition
How easy it turned and how quiet the engine was
Then I shifted into gear and it was sheer ecstasy
I felt as if I was floating instead of rolling on wheels
But that was the first time I drove this car
Now the engine roars
And that's only when I can get it started
I shift into gear and it hesitates, and then jumps into motion
And instead of floating it now shakes me ferociously
I will never drive this car again
But that doesn't mean I won't ride.
