sometimes the drive is gone --
what is it? axle, shaft or mind?
gear or road or propulsion?
a forced stop --
we look. we ponder.
what is it we need?
boost or rest?
somewhere in france, mid-eighties

Well, they say if you look down in
look down in
long enough
hard enough
wishfully enough
wistfully enough
the answer will come
if not
you're just fucked
right enough
and that's when you have to start tinkering
tugging
twisting
whistling
scratching your head and bristling
and when the answer comes
for surely it will
fire it up
hop back in
and drive baby drive
just staying alive
don't ever lose that drive
