A Learner's Permit MAG
April 10, 2009
gripping the wheel
and gritting my teeth
ignoring my father
sitting next to me
while trying to avoid
the bright red truck
parked on my right
i see another little girl
gripping the handlebars
and gritting her teeth
ignoring her father
walking next to her
while trying to avoid
the dark red mailbox
coming up on her right
both of us wondering
when daddy will take off
the training wheels
