The Glove Box
The Glove Box
Brother Paul Abernathy has entertained us with his whimsical poetry and for a year, kept us as part of his youth ministry with the column, All Things Considered, which are also archived on this web blog. He continues with something we can all related to, especially when driving down the highway.
The Glove Box
I believe that scientists are wrong when
They say black holes are in outer space.
There is one in a very common place,
The glove box of my car, not deformed star.
Items that enter this black hole are rarely seen
Again, like the collection of restaurant napkins,
Or the mini first-aid kit when you get a cut.
And if that is not enough, try to find that square
Wallet with the title, registration and insurance
For the unexpected cop stop.
Somewhere there is an emergency flashlight
That can’t be found, especially at night.
Those emergency waterproof matches or the
Emergency flares are both never in slight.
After a while the glove box becomes a car
Repair bill and car manual file, aging daily
while I drive down the road.
Somewhere in there was some food, I’m told.
Scientists haven’t looked hard enough yet
To find the original universe black hole, I bet.
My first love has always been music, and the Lord lead me to the ministry, the main source of inspiration. I love my wife and family, and I love writing. I have been given many gifts, and I have been able to share them with The World of Words by Elias Tobias. I thank Brother Tobias for this opportunity to have my words in the forum.
