Swing of the Highway
Highway swing
Highway dance
Swing in and out
Swing carefully
Out to stay alive
Out there on the freeway
Alive still
Alive to swerve
Swerve all about
Swerve cautiously
Still moving
Still dancing
About to smash
About to crash
Moving slowly
Moving not at all
Smash heard
Smash song
Slowly turn
Slowly open eyes
Heard metal
Heard brakes
Turn and look
Turn and feel sad for them
Metal crumpled
Metal jumbled
Look away
Look toward
Crumpled car
Crumpled truck
Away I go
Away from this sad
Car speeds up
Car racing soon
Go on truck
Go on car
Up a hill
Up toward clouds
Truck screeches on brakes
Truck slams them hard
Hill so daunting
Hill so steep
Brakes hold
Brakes keep us in place
Daunting day
Daunting and slow
Highway Dance
Highway Nerve
Nerve of steel, we drivers, now
Dance of highway, daily dance
