stranded
stranded, down on I-95
piece of shit car
up and died
shimmers covered
land, sky in heat
sucks being me today
no water and miles yet to walk
beautiful scales on that snake
watching me with blessed cold eyes
still not taking a hint from this temp
sounds of a motor comin from a distance
prepare myself for a smile to trade
as it roars on by
or even worse
should it stop
close, closer
deafening peel from too quick brakes
as it slides too close
tinted windshield meets my anger
happy for this chance for fight
when you leaned out and asked if i had a drink
its nice having a choice
this hot dry insane walk
or climbing in by your side
in which would i die faster?
in which would i die more happy?
