“The Zen of Mountain Driving” by Christina Lovin

Bigger Than They AppearDon’t brake. Accelerate
through the curves. Press hard
into the steering
wheel with the outside
arm. Relax the inside
grip. Forget the road.
Lean into the arc and eye
the solid line. Unbroken,
let it carry you
around the dark mountain
and safely down.
