Pushed away: Rabbit (II)
“Give me the wheel. I don't care where we're going, I just can't be a passenger.”
It requires the controls of any room it enters, meaning the direction, the tempo, the decisions and the shape of the plan, and registers a real threat whenever somebody else is steering, however competent that person is. It learned this in a patriarchal household coming apart at the seams, where it was the one functioning person and holding the wheel was the only thing keeping the vehicle out of the ditch. What it asks for is one journey completed in the passenger seat, the whole way to the destination.
It echoes Jehu, known across the whole account for the way he drove, furious and unstoppable, arriving before anybody had finished deciding whether he had been sent for. The form implies a task: to slow to a speed at which somebody else could get in.
