The Driver’s Seat
I know what to do, when I'm in the driver's seat.
Steering wheel in my hand, gas pedal at my feet.
I turn the key, and hear the hum of the engine's heartbeat.
Pulling out into the lane,
suddenly I sense a change.
The car swerves, the tires screech.
Red means go, green means stop.
I can't seem to find a parking spot.
There is no brake pedal, losing control.
No point of steering, so I let go.
Only a red brick wall can stop me.
