"He's so gay!" is screamed down the hall

like the screeching wheels of spinning tires

rubbing against the road too harshly

and when you spin around in the vehicle of your body

and your headlights zone in on the perp

your engine is roaring to life and ready to implode

 

Turn back around and take a left at the stop light

Take another right

Another left

another right

another left

And find yourself at your new school

The tires are fresh, your car is cleaned, you're ready to begin

 

Drive down the road and find the end of the street

There was a wreck today with many casualities

You see one friend after another taken home by their parents

and soon your own comes to get you

and tows your vehicle home

 

Pull out of the garage after weeks of being alone

push forward, collect that diploma, and pass go

Find yourself parked outside your dorm

A community parking lot

making love in the backseat with a stranger

Slowly your gas tank leaks and your vehicle is run down

The tires need replaced

The windshielf is cracked

The body is scarred 

The windows won't go up or down

But you keep driving

You've gone too far to slam the breaks
