MANIFOLD MATTERS

How can someone so small Maneuver a beast so big Intimidated by task ahead She sits behind the wheel ...and drives Every moment on the road Sounds and creaks emerge Obstacles surround, on every side She must quickly diverge ...the path When darkness comes She shivers and quakes with fear Heightened senses prickle and poke Something, unknown, sinister, is near ...to see Hidden, hidden, every freaking thing is hidden Why can't life be out front Dealing with reeling, unfolding the molding Matter is in the manifold shunt ...pushing power To bend TRUTH Written by Trudy Schrader on 11-29-2023

That is some ride you take the reader on... I could feel the sense of helplessness in your poem.. Expressed so well..

My entire life, I have been afraid of cars. I even had a year of cars, where I traded my car in 4 x's due to fear of breakdown. No more. I have issues w/current car, but it still drives, so...onward we go :)
