When the Engine Light Comes On
One
Click
To "On"
Wait a beat
Three taps on the gas
Signal to the left, turn the key
Flick on high beams, that's the secret code, ma'am, now you know
How to get back to Wonderland by car, but remember: there, left is right, right is left
Your foot is your hand, your hand is your heart, your age is measured in love lives, time is measured
in cats' lives, it's always 9, nine hours, 9 days
And you'll always be 9 minutes late. The drink to get smaller doesn't apply to the vehicle: to get back just write
a Fibonacci poem in reverse starting with the number infinity… Ma'am? Ma'am? Should I check the oil?
