Entropy

 

I pilot my vehicle through the waning days

With fairly regular maintenance, and increasing repairs

Some things I just live with because there are no true replacement parts

Only post-manufacture add-ons that must suffice, and so they do, more or less

I find I’m enjoying the ride more even as my cruising speed drops

I’ve figured out that I can only enjoy the scenery if it’s not zooming by
