17
And it hits like a semi  
Rumble strip road vibrations
I must have fallen asleep
Just for a second
But that second was enough

Sideways divider that didn’t win the fight
The metal flying towards it
Cracked concrete bed
Upside down sky scraper
The unforgiving 17
Winding up the pass like a snake about to strike

Stay away from the careless
Ripping down the left lane
Ease up behind the reckless
Be the cautious
Be the snail
This is where you don’t hold your life entirely in your own hands
This is a flock all headed to the same place
Unaware that the people next to you exist

Break lights flashing
Glass cage shatter
Airbag punch
Stay awake
