Rain drops run like tears down the window
as my Car speeds past another Lay-by
lamenting those past bring no solace
at the horror of those yet to come
ahead an old man struggles
his Car is aged, broken down
every mile a small mercy
as desperately he hopes to carry on
begrudging my car’s reliability,
I look in sadness as we pass him,
he looks wistfully
as the sun dances on my shiny paint
how I wish I could stop!
give him my engine!
transfer my fuel!
maybe give him my tires!
the Road is yet too long
I have no strength for it
no yearning to drive another Mile
best to give to those who want
that they may travel past and smile
