My Daddy's Car


A stick shift, without power steering. I drove it for the last time on the day after his funeral. The radio was set to his favorite spanish station. The compass rested on the dashboard. He was a man of gadgets and I found a few in this car. This was the only car he ever bought new. In Mozambique he owned motorcicles. I never did drive those.
