Debut’s over poem

One lane in a smear of snow.

Someone is nuts enough to pass and for seconds we’re all swirling.

Then, for one hundred minutes, my world is i words:

One white stripe.

I slide.  Throat tight.

Ice.

Sticking to 45.

I-I-I don’t like driving through snow.

Love that o word.

Home.
