In The Slow Lane

 


Wild Woman never hurries
any more.
Her pace is slow and stately,
like an old barge,
plying stagnant waters.

Sometimes she yearns for
a tugboat
to give her a little push.

Yesterday, on my mobility scooter, I passed a blonde cherub beaming at me from his stroller. He thought my scooter was very cool and would have liked to trade. "Wheels at both ends of the spectrum", I grinned at his parents as we passed.

  1. A slow lane is a good lane to be in - I am so glad that little cherub smiled at you along the way to make the journey special - Jae

  2. I smiled at your note. Wheels at both of the spectrum, indeed. But, we need those wheels during the journey. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
