Learning to Drive,


Lately I have been learning to drive
Trying to turn this way or that
Watching the road in front
Also watching my back
Yes and seeing the blind spots
Giving indicators
Stopping at stop signs
Keeping to the right of the road
And to the left of the car
Frowning at the road
Getting tensed about making mistakes
Observing cars on the road
Observing even when not driving
Parking into the perfect spot
Perfect angle
Which can never be judged
Just make a guess or a second guess
Third and fourth also maybe
Turn the key, switch on the lights
Foot on the brake,
Same foot on the accelerator
Know which one when
Jump 2 feet when honked at
Or when barked instructions at
Keep to the speed limit
Not above or below
All this to note
And much more yet to know
In between all this
Some say you would learn to love it
Still waiting for that

I wonder too, how some of them
end the exercise elated.
I wonder too, how in this world,
Freedom curbed is celebrated... !
