Listen ~ Monday, 2 September 2019

Again and again, I watch as you shift 
gears, your hand on top of mine on the stick, 
answering the motor, I learn the art,  
in the language of sound, as I listen,  
nothing is more beautiful than driving, 

as a child, a manual transmission 
noticeably appears more difficult, 
driving an automatic is a bore, 

answering the engine is a lost art, 
gaining knowledge takes time, appreciate 
an instrument in all its usefulness, 
in turn, the world shifts gears, and I listen, 
nothing sounds better, smoothly shifting gear, 

I remember Papa, teaching me art.
