I just saved your whole post, Nezscape, and bless you for printing that poem, because I couldn't find it anymore. I agree with you about Keys to the Car, except I think it's even more personal. I think it also means that the PTB told him he could do his own thing, and then they tried to control him anyway. "You're free friend as long as it's nice". "You can drive some (or son?) but don't drive too far".
And thanks for giving me an inkling as to what Calico Girlfriend is about. I bet you're right!
