But Memorial Day Weekend is traditionally one for family outings. Ours took us around the DC metro area beltway--famous for requiring nerves of steel when it's flowing smoothly and the patience of Job the other 495% of the time.
ROOKIE PASSENGER
While 16 drives
12 tells me he has
super-vision--
he can see the holes
in spinning hub caps
at 60 MPH
and what does SPF stand for?
16 holds steady,
only a few wobbles within her lane.
Nearly 50 is coaching her
and I--51--I'm wobbling
a little too in the backseat,
letting go, holding nothing
but a slippery pink glitter gel pen
she doesn't use anymore.

The Poetry Friday round-up today is at Reflections on the Teche with Margaret, who must be celebrating the end of another satisfying year of teaching. Cruise on over and enjoy the poetry scenery!
