Speed Limit

When the cop appears we go the speed limit.

When his tail-lights dissaper

His foot is back on the gas pedal.

Pushing us faster and faster.

 

We take curves at dangerous speeds.

And I feel my body like a rag doll.

My body disobeys me as I try to stay centered.

Gravity wins and pulls me close to the window when we turn right.
