Ode to a Windshield

One day on the road

Was all it took.

A look at the cars

That passed us.

I wanted to be a windshield.

Built into a nice car

Never looked so good.

Let me be a windshield

And I promise you

I’ll be tough

And save you from getting badly injured.

I will risk getting hit with rocks and bugs.

Just let me be a windshield

Fitted into a nice BMW Convertible.

 Wind constantly breezing over me

While I stay tough and

Hold it together.

Go on

I’m half windshield

Already.
