in my car I am
a rock star –
musical legend.
playing the gas pedal with my foot,
(accelerate)
the bass pedal of a drum
(brake)
slamming hands on the
steering wheel,
smashing cymbals.
singing with windows down,
my microphone to the world.
maybe the wind will
carry my words to your ears.
slam into you at
seventy miles per hour.
