A poem about living in the world

Another poem for National Poetry Month:

Ride

It's not my world, I grant, but I made it.
It's not my ranch, lean oak, buzzard crow,
Not my fryers, mixmaster, well-garden.
And now it's down the road and I made it.

Its not your rackety car but you drive it.
It's not your four-door, top-speed, white-wall tires,
Not our state, not even I guess, our nation,
But now it's down the road, and we're in it.

Josephine Miles
