since my days with Chase, have
combined to perhaps affect my driving.
I’m Crawling Home
like an old woman, working hard
to stay centered in my lane.
The car wants to veer right, then left.
But whether that’s because
of my condition, or weather conditions,
I’m not exactly sure.
It started to flurry before I left for Red
Rock. And now it’s coming
down faster, starting to stick to the asphalt.
The LTD is heavy, its tires
fully treaded. But there’s a long, steep
off-ramp ahead.
A nerve attack rattles my teeth. The hands
gripping the steering wheel
begin to shake, and when I try to stop them,
they don’t respond to my
commands, as if they belong to someone else.
[Get it together. This isn’t rocket
science. Remember what Scott told you about
driving in snow.]
Okay, stop sign ahead. Pump the brakes.
Wait! Was that don’t
pump the brakes? Shit! I choose middle
ground, slide to a stop,
turn the corner gradually, head for Brad’s.
Wow. That wasn’t so bad.
Looks like it’s been snowing longer here, though.
