How is it that we can safely manage
a four-thousand-pound car
traveling at 70 miles an hour,
sometimes within a couple of feet
of another moving at the same speed;
with very little conscious thought?
In fact, we are usually thinking about something else entirely,
like what we will have for lunch,
or if the Red Sox will win the Pennant.
Perhaps listening to a podcast too.
A wonderment for sure.
