First aid kit
Stickers of Jesus and Mary
Fading away
An ancient dash board cover
The brown carpet faded to camel
A bottle of water for the engine
Sticker peeling off and jaggered
A newspaper with lurid images
A screw driver
Ready at the steering wheel
Jesus swinging
Off the rear view mirror
The gear stick long
And covered in tubing
A prayer
A ball mirror in the corner
To see distorted passengers
Dust in all the seat corners
Duct tape holding up the steering wheel
A dropping seatbelt
We stop and start constantly
So he reads the newspaper as well
