Au Revoir, Eddie
You’ve been good to me, as I’m on my way
I’ll be off road, for some days, I’ll be away.
So many sighting last night, you thrill me.
Today, now 11 minutes in I’ve already counted three.
We don’t judge Eddie, the ilk of you and I
Unlike those who ride us, always projecting
Their contaminated minds on to other.
We don’t judge. That’s what I like about us.
Function before form, that’s the norm
That you and I and others of our ilk, understand.
We don’t discriminate against, color or conduct,
Knowing how we conduct ourselves is to suit the job at hand.
Having said that, Eddie; do you wonder, like I do,
If our Spirits align, like mine does with you?
Of all the others that traverse the road we share,
Why is that it’s only your presence excites me,
For the others my levels of affinity, are not the same,
Even though we traverse sometimes shoulder to shoulder
Perhaps sometimes to a common destination
Sometimes, to perhaps never meet again.
Now again this crack of dawn, we passed side by side. You were a bit slower,
Responsible as you always are.
You know Eddie, the other thing I like about us?
No pain or defeat in our gaze, no sense of confusion in our eyes,
Unlike the Spirit of those who we carry, more my kind than yours,
We don’t have the convoluted sense or non sense of identity.
See you in the Spring Eddie, I’ll stay behind, but my humans lift off
For a few days to warmer climes.
What a glorious couple of days, the sun shine brightly,
With minus two below, the overnight activity of making ice,
Left its mark everywhere.
At 10:30 am, with the sun still quite high,
What a display of twinkling, winking diamonds
In no rush to go on and about. They twinkle and wink from every surface
Before they will melt away, give way to day.
Au Revoir then, Eddie we’ll meet in Spring.
Till then, be well, and safe wherever you come and go.
Don’t forget, to get your snow tires.
Your friend, Mercedes E 220D
and Veenu
