truckin' along

I'd been truckin' along.

Then I went in reverse.

I stalled,

then forgot how to drive.

"It was preparing people from the world of the past for the world of the future, and what was missing was the world of the present, where every body was living its small, short, surprising, miserable, wonderful, blessed, damaged, only life."
