Fly down Allegheny River Boulevard
beneath the shade leaves and lucky fuzzy dice
twirling black and gold in the windows down
whipped cabin air.
Tap fingers on the sun cracked dash
and belt Modern English's chorus
"and melt with you!" Row the gearbox to five
and hear the burble bang of the old V8
echo against the undersides of the rotting
railway overpass.
Summer used to be funny, and smelly, and sweaty, and lazy.
Still is. Just a lot less skin on skin these days.
The world stopped and for a little while we melted
for better and worse
and then that master clock continued to churn
and the gears
crushed me alive.
Spring is here and rushed through veins.
Cigarette butt flips and glows,
spun into the green and shadow flashes
along the road.
Is there anything worse
than being stuck in traffic
when it's 109 degrees without air conditioning
and the hangover is larger than life?
Nothing to talk about.
Blurs of silver, red, and white!
Blue, a yellow fish, a black with pink stripes!
A monster truck? Have fun parking that.
Corners and white lines and red line and wind!
Oh, deer! Hello, g'bye woodland ghosts.
Almost smell the river from here
"and melt with you!"
Let's go to the park today
beneath the shade leaves and lucky fuzzy dice
twirling black and gold in the windows down
whipped cabin air.
