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
fuming, struggle to recalibrate.
Mechanics 101: Assess the problem,
uncross wires of communication,
and tinker.
Even the touchiest Jaguar responds
to a gentle touch.
