Mind the Clutch

Sometimes the ride is smooth, sometimes rough. It's not unusual that normal wear and tear call for readjustments.


Mind the Clutch


Random stretches of misfires,

like an engine out of sync, ping

our relationship.


Sometimes we flare, talking past

each other like cars revving

their engines, ready to burn rubber.


Sometimes we stall, walk away

Mechanics 101: Assess the problem,

uncross wires of communication,

and tinker.


Even the touchiest Jaguar responds

to a gentle touch.
