Rubbing off the road
Wiping it clean with your
Tires squealing to the beat
Eyes rounder than the headlights
Lead foot presses lighter
Than the lead block in
Your stomach as it screams
The beads of sweat race to
Your mouth, the taste of
Salt revs your pulse to the
Maximum as you drown out
The sounds of leaving
