WINDSHIELD TIME

by Kelly Pelton (written 09 Jan 2021)

I've always liked to be behind the wheel;
the rules apply to every woman and man.
The highway is a world of speed you feel,
the thrill of gliding fast. I am a fan

of windshield time to think while driving far,
not keeping to a "females only" lane.
I get to choose my make and model of car
and where I go and whom I pass, no pain

of gender inequality. You won't 
succeed if you are trying to limit me.
The females get to choose their lanes; we don't
defer to men because they're male. We're free.
