Lacking social grace
She constantly interrupts my conversations
With firm but clear directions
When I fail to make a critical turn in time
There are no judgements
No recriminations
She studies the maps and quickly computes a new route
She only speaks when necessary
Her voice while feminine, is neither sexy nor nagging
During the long straight drives on the Interstate
She is content to be quiet
Speaking only when necessary
At the end of a long trip
She guides me through the thick fog and haze
Using her abilities to connect with an unseen higher power to guide us back home
Sometimes I wish she was more cordial
But our relationship is all business
When it is time for us to part
She is silent
But I know I will hear her voice again
Swirling dense fog
Her reassuring voice
GPS
