Life is a car ride
after it has been raining.
There are puddles of water everywhere.
Though you try to avoid hydroplaning;
cars pass you at lightning fast speeds
that make you feel like your head is spinning
out of control more and more with each passing.
And at times, there's a huge truck at your side
spewing so much mist on your windshield
that you can not see anything,
everything is covered in white.
But remember, you still have good sense.
You know these streets too well
to go veering off into the dark bayous.
They may lurk, but that moment
will never come. You'll drive straight.
through the fog until the truck,
that once appeared large is nothing more than
a small speck in your rearview mirror.
But I assure you it will not, be the last
car or truck - that's life.
