Driving

Told him not to speed
Mother in law in front seat
Not worth impacting on the shield
(besides, harder to clean up from
the inside, without a windshield
wiper -- disinfectant never gets
the smell of her breath away.).
There are sirens, a hard on
At the city noisescape, the wails
Like the end of the world,
Just for me and just for you.

There will be people speeding
And no laws or rules or warrants.
You will finally know enough
To be afraid of me. I will maybe
Come to love you, but only if
You never pay the speeding ticket.
