Driving too fast, it is easy to miss the signs. Days are crossed off on the calendar, and we keep waiting for signs-- to hear something, see something. Are we not looking hard enough, listening carefully enough as it is? It's easy to read into things, and just as easy to ignore them altogether. Wait for the signs you want, you might be waiting a while. I'll stay with you, keep driving until we see something we like.
I hope you enjoyed this piece! It’s funny how often driving shows up in my poems ever since I got my license. Feel free to leave feedback and writing challenges in the comments. Stay safe and healthy out there.
