VALERIE MACEWAN Non-Negotiable Securities Traveling with member-supported-public-radio friends listen to Mountain Stage made possible by listeners like me, driving down dark highways on the road to vehicular suicide. Time past I was the passenger and someone else drove, dreaming of a free-fall at sixty miles an hour, careening out of a trance onto the median of trees, grass, gravel, steel signs and cigarette butts. But I almost opened the door in June, So for me, I can only drive. Wheel-grasping, lumbar-supported, you reach that place, the one that waits for your attendance and responsibility. Propelled by the inevitability of your momentum and from your destiny comes a future, controlled, I hold myself back and refrain from opening the car door... the one that sends me flying onto the median of trees, grass, gravel, steel signs and cigarette butts. Steel-belted safety on radial tires, You're sheltered because I drive.
