Defensive Driver

It won’t come as a surprise
if one day I die
in a car accident.

A month after I received
my brand new car,
I went elbow-to-elbow
with a taxi,

that left my side-mirror dangling
like a broken stem.
A year after,
a bigger enemy—a truck

decides to give my car
a nudge.
In between these two
I managed to add

little dimples
all over my car.
A friend tried to console me
by saying:

“It’s okay.
You’ll get better at it.”

Better car-wrecks
it seems.
