KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD

When she drove she spent so 
much time watching her arse

she made me nervous.

Leaning into the wheel with

her chin leading, mind you,

but the eyes always in the mirror

watching for phantoms from

behind. "Look out the front!"

I'd say, secreting my fear, thinking

such advice made sense, given our

direction and the passage of time.

But now I know that I too show

unseemly interest in the past,

hoping it don't come too fast.
