For Me to Drive Away

For Me to Drive Away

A Poem by Desert Knave
"

a poem about my compulsiveness

"
I've triple-checked
All four locks today
To make sure it's safe
For me to drive away
But just to be sure
(Can't be too safe, I say)
I will quadruple-check
All four locks today
As my math and my mess
Work out better that way
