Suspended Emptiness

Merging
Step to the plate
Four lane
Wide interstate
Let off
Free from the brakes
Swerving
Across the freeway

Wheel held tight
Inside two leather gloves
Got a real firm grip
No plans on letting up

Desperate
Jot down a list
Suspend
My emptiness

Red light cigarette
Just can't keep you calm
Take a big fat rip
No promise
Of tomorrow
Makes you feel so big
And strong to cut them off
Wait kid
Get a grip
Quick
Don't waste
It all
