And they call me CRAZY

And they call me CRAZY

A cold north wind blew
Thick mist hid the blue
Gloves, scarf, coat, and hat
My car streaked with dew

The engine raced high
Shifted on the fly
Gloves, scarf, coat, and hat
Cows, looked on nigh

Down an asphalt rut
Lined with grape and nut
Gloves, scarf, coat, and hat
The choke all but shut

What ever held thought
Came truly to naught
Gloves, scarf, coat, and hat
The cold cantrip taught

Crazy I may be
Driving my MG
Gloves, scarf, coat, and hat
In an autumn sea

My driven intent
And my given bent
Gloves, scarf, coat, and hat
For where my heart went

a convertible can't go to waste just because it's cold as hell. a lot can be said for layers. I like this poem.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
