Reclamation

Driving or not driving... a decision made day by day, sometimes hour by hour.  I am still getting used to this part of my identity.  Some days it comes easier than others.

I drive home

Alone.

My music plays.

I sing along

Loudly.

For these moments

I remember who I am,

Even if tomorrow

I ask for a ride.

This is also part

Of who I am

These days:

She who asks for rides;

She who drives when it is safe

For her to drive,

Plays her music

Loud

And sings along.
