second gear

i'm stuck in second gear,
the clutch
won't let me go
into third, then fourth,
then fifth
then sixth.
i've been in second gear
all day.
on hills,
and turns,
the back roads,
the free way.
grinding slowly forward,
i want to go faster
but i can't.
i need a good mechanic,
a new car,
a few martinis,
someone behind me,
with kind and friendly
hands.
