Sometimes
when I am on the highway
going 10-20 miles over the speed limit
I’ll put on the saddest song I’ve been into lately
and crank that bitch up real loud
And I’ll close my eyes
for as long as I can
before chickening out
and popping them back open again
The fear has to really sink in–
I have to feel that sting throughout the whole body,
for me to open my eyes
So,
if you see a beat up
99 Mercury Sable,
with both side view mirrors taped on ,
and a spiraling dent
on the rear passenger side,
from when a semi almost sent me nose diving into the river styx,
and Johnny Cash blasting from the speakers,
don’t honk at me,
or cut me off,
I’m trying to get past 5 seconds
-C.H.
