i rode my soul to work today

my kia soul to be exact

encapsulated from the fray

and both our souls intact.

Afterword: About four weeks ago I traded my dependence on increasingly undependable and scary public transportation of more than ten years’ duration for a 2023 Kia Soul with about 31,000 miles on it. I don’t like the indebtedness that entailed, but I love the luxury of get in and drive away.
