Been driving without a rear-view mirror
It came unstuck and stayed that way, hidden
In the glove compartment. (Who keeps gloves there?)
It's fixed now but I know what I wouldn't
Have thought possible before. No sudden
Collisions, all was clear, using the wing
Mirrors like a van driver. I couldn't
Have imagined wearing no watch. Knowing
The time's essential. But it's been showing
Itself elsewhere. Bedside clock. Computer
Office clock. See? Surprising how often
You can easily do without something
So drive on till you get there, and don't care
What time it takes. The brakes are forgotten...
