I don't know which to mourn. Both have died on me, my wife and <br />my car. I feel strongly about my car, but I am also affected by my, <br />wife. Without my car, I can't leave the house to keep myself from <br />being alone. My wife gave me two children, both of whom, of course, <br />no longer live with us, as was to be expected, as we in our youth left <br />our parents behind. With my car, I could visit my children, when they <br />are not too busy. <br /> <br />Before she died, my wife urged me to find another woman. It's advice <br />I'd like to take up but not without a car. Without a car. I cannot find <br />myself another woman. That's the sum of it.<br /><br />David Ignatow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/that-s-the-sum-of-it/
