Driving again

I may not have to learn to drive, but I do need to learn to drive again.  It takes more concentration, particularly in weather like the rain and sleet at dusk last night.  Of course I thought it would be an easy run with my daughter to Panera for supper.  I already knew I would need my own driving chops again, until I will be able to supervise her driving.  I was not prepared for the difficulty driving at dusk in sleet last night.  Now is my time learning again to concentrate, to focus on different things from the driver*s side.  Alone.  Me and the car.  Learning each other again.

Like my daughter learning to drive

For time number one,

I search for my driving mind

Again.

I figure at least a week

In sun and rain and snow,

In various stages of dark and light,

Sun in my eyes,

Sun at my back.

It will take at least a week

Driving by myself.

I remember it takes time

Oh yes time

I remember it takes time

To get up to speed.

I have my license

And

It still takes time.
