The Black Bonnet shimmers wickedly,
The new Wheels barely skim the Ground
As the Porsche floats proudly
On Bro’s Gravelly driveway
The plush Vinyl seating beckons to me,
The forbidden Steering Wheel glistens invitingly
Abandoning my Voices,
I race over and slide in stealthily
The Engine purrs Seductively,
As I head out to embrace the world
“I’m the Driver of My Destiny!” I holler
As I speed madly down a highway,
While Blasting Metal music springs
From the Dolby stereo within
The flashing Headlights of an oncoming truck
Assault me in the dead stillness of Night
I slam my foot on the brakes but to no avail!
Alas, the breaks, I learn, are dysfunctional!
I swerve the Porsche toward a curb
Yet, I am engulfed in a deadly collision,
In an avalanche of blood, smoke and metal
‘Midst the throes of a shuddering Heart
An inner Voice screeches from below
The blackness of an ebbing life
‘You were the Driver of your Destiny’1
