Who drives the black car fate?<\/p>\n

And what if it comes late?<\/div>\n
Might one miss the spotlight<\/div>\n
and drive off in the night?<\/div>\n
Fate has no GPS.<\/div>\n
so missing is a mess.<\/div>\n
There’s forks and some dead ends.<\/div>\n
There’s enemies and friends.<\/div>\n
And if the car gets lost,<\/div>\n

Without a lifeline map,<\/div>\n

The driver knows the rules<\/div>\n
for seekers, saints and fools.<\/div>\n

But time, they say, is moot.<\/div>\n
