Driver Error
Oct 18 2023
Metal fatigue, the expert said;
it was bound to fail.
Even solid steel gives out
packs it in
calls it quits.
So when I turn over in bed,
hitting the snooze button
once again
and refusing to get up,
please don't judge.
I'm flesh and blood, after all,
not some high tensile metal
or cutting edge alloy.
Meanwhile, the strut failed
the car veered off the road.
And I need one good night's sleep
to regain control,
instead of nose down
in the ditch
spinning my wheels.
If only my own bad parts
were as replaceable;
awakening me
from this bone-deep fatigue
a new man,
guaranteed
to last a lifetime.
