Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose Poetry

Music On the Car Radio

When The Beach Boys or Cher comes on the radio
Watch out! Stay off the highway! Give me room!
For I turn into a sixteen-year-old invincible driver.
I push that petal so hard
Glaring at it
For it no longer goes to a hundred and ten.
Damn!  

When Bette Midler or Mama Cass comes on the radio
Get off the freeway. Save yourself! I am tearing up the road.
Leaving a trail of pure rubber behind me, 
Scaring all the old ladies in the other cars.
Damn teenage driver! They scream
Shaking their plump old fingers at me
Having no idea I am sixty-eight years old
As I fly past them,daring myself to die.
