Why Did I Use Cruise Control (Bussokusekika)
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
About this poem
I usually don’t use cruise control…Over the last 10 years I may have used it 10 times at the most…Live and learn…And everyone was flying past me as if I were a snail…It almost makes me wonder if someone may have tampered wit Blu while I was grabbing a bite to eat in Newberry Park???I guess such thoughts are only proof of my paranoia…It was a trip sliding in circles I must admit…I don’t know how those NASCAR drivers slam into those walls at 200+ MPH…My hats of to them…⛄️
