"Learning to Drive During the Apocalypse" by Matthew Lee
 

I can’t drive

But I think

I’ll figure it out

With a mushroom cloud

In the rear-view mirror.

All those years

Meandering down the highway

On foot

To feed the masses

And now they're gone

And all I have left

Are myself

And this stolen 2003 Saturn ION

And an open road

That I can only appreciate now

For the first

And for the last

Time.
