Psalm

(Found here)

So many cars have driven past me

without a head-on collision.

I started counting them today:

there were a hundred and nine

on the way to the grocery,

a hundred and two on the way back home.

I got my license

when I was seventeen.

I’ve driven across country

at least twelve times;

I even drive

late Saturday nights.

I shall not want.
