After
silent
Blaring baring embarrassing
Arguments scorch the air
Then freeze it
But not pasteurize
It is dirty dirty dirty
Mindless hate and alcohol
Slightly slurred slandering
I push the pedal a little faster, end it soon
Pins prick pins prick
They want to get OUT
Poking, pushed, sneaking, shoved
Not here.
He rolls the window a little
Some of it leaks out, but not enough
Blaming flaming infamy
Throwing keys skyward
They commit suicide on the unforgiving asphalt
A**. What an a**.
Exploratory eyes examine us, him
I blush in the worst way
He staggers angrily, uneven and restless
Mom looks away
Ever after, forever happily
Even after, never happily
It hurts, even
after
