Love it...

to the screeching sound
of my own failure.
Like a goddamned train
with bad brakes,
it hit me

loss of control
accident

snow bank
at the intersection
brakes fail...

She slammed her foot on my head.

I decided to retaliate,

So now she is…..

She made the biggest mistakes
When suddenly put on the brakes
From going all the way
With a guy named Play
So, he ended up giving her the shakes...

At first all red
We hit the brakes
Then amber lights
A few mistakes
Green for go
But take it slow

A UFO went to land in Dakota
But the brakes didn't work one iota.
        It didn't take long
        to decide what was wrong
seems the space ship was made by Toyota!...

Walking up the hill
Head on straight 
Strapping on gloves
Sitting on the gate
Clipping in the petals
locking up the brakes
leaning
standing 
sweating
shaking
waiting
and then

tires howling loudly
she reaches for my shoulder
horns like sirens wail
brakes failing on icy bridge
I wake in a hospital

Old rusty Bessie just drove her last mile
  Went with a sputter instead of a smile
    No more brakes slipping
    No more gears ripping
  Think I'll relax with a horse for a while...

was charged by the police with homicide.

	the faulty brakes or the exhaust.
If neither, then the carbon monoxide....

Your true friend sees you ...

   By the smile showing pride .

    As the strength by their  side .

     By the trust you'll  confide .

      As the brakes , on life's  slide ......

The brakes squeak
and the car hisses…..
a puncture

The spare tyre replaced
the engine revs again
the journey continues.

Twenty-one means you can have your first drink.
Not soda, milk, orange, a Roy Rogers, nor shake.
Yes, a beer, wine, whisky, martini, vodka. Just think -
Remember good strong coffee will put on the brakes....

ACCESS DENIED

screeching of brakes
sequels then breaks
flickering lights…
on…off..on..off..
then it all turns
white
like peeling skin
screaming
access denied

 Twenty-two is a shitty
Thing. No age left to look forward
To, the slow decline steepens
As your brakes quickly go out.

Oh. How could I
Forget?
My Insurance
Goes up at
Twenty-five.

I
Cannot
Wait. ...

I detest bad drivers
They threaten me
They cut me off,
Don’t let me be

I abhor bad drivers 
They’ve no regard
Being polite
Is just too hard

I loathe bad drivers
They slam on brakes
They pass me by
And make mistakes...
