COMPOSING PLACE
On 195 North the car in front of me
spins out but rights itself before
I am carried into it.
Bad enough my brakes slip and
almost run me off the same road.
How to spell Fear. Self-defining.
Some words do not need dictionaries.
Not important. I am a sinner (perhaps) beloved
and my mission is to get home,
a sign that I somehow am forgiven.
And I know this and do not give a damn
who else does or what they think.
