2017
I used to drive around town for fun.
But this town is now overgrown.
With tall buildings that reach too high.
As I try to look up.
The sun turns toward me and distracts me.
I used to go to the little corner store.
New ownership.
That always seems to happen.
My old friends hide in the crevice.
I try not to.
But my car is collecting dust.
Just like my memories of them.
I used to drive around town for fun.
Alone in my car, with the radio on.
“Today we have a fun song about going to the beach.”
I would keep driving until the beach showed up.
My house is getting old.
I’m in disrepair.
Sometimes, I wonder if I’m a ghost.
They keep sending bills to my house, anyway.
I used to be young.
My mom used to call, but she died.
My car died too.
That rusty old engine.
Couldn’t keep up.
I still can’t believe it.
2017.
When I used to drive around town for fun.
