National Poetry Month’s Poem-A-Day 30-Day Challenge: Day 30
STEERING WHEEL
Did you know
that in a car
you can see
the whole world?
You turn as it turns
and in turn we learn
to see—
everywhere around us—
beauty waiting
to be named,
not that it might
be owned, steered,
and commodified,
but that we might
remain human
in an age of fear
and ossified
imagination.
So come with me
to some as yet
unknown location.
The thunder of a
hundred horses pulls
us toward the sun
and the beautiful.
