Shift Change

If this is going to work
It's time to change
How you shift

You'll be smooth as lubed
Changing gears
If you ease up on the pedal

Find your cadence 
Then roll with it

Good advice for all. Well said. Amazing how maturing adjusts our values and expectation. But youth is always peddle to floor, no matter what the signs say.

As with many of your poems Mo, I have to ask myself, hey what are we talking about here?? The lubrication thing was....well never mind. Anyway, it makes you think and I feel it might be apt to say "moderation in all things" is the key!! .......Nice one!!....80)... By the way....my first free verse favorite!

I know my friend Mo and this is not about driving... I will say one thing, sometimes we need to step down a few gears or up a few to adjust to the lane we are travelling in... OR maybe contemplating to change lanes...
