I was warned

I was warned

I was warned of the dangers
of driving an open car,
the top down,
one hand off the wheel,

reaching for something
to drink in the late
afternoon-soon-to-be-evening,
while around me
America rolled along.

and I was warned
of the absolute peril
come to visit when hands
fell idle, works
that only seemed blessed.

I had every caution
I had ever heard,
poured out and served
each time I stopped
without thinking.

I was such a careless boy.

Monkeys: There are no monkeys here. If you're looking for monkeys, go away. Well, actually there are monkeys, but they're of the hairless variety that writes poetry and such. If that's not what you're looking for move along.
