Commuting
I ran a red light today, and god that's so mundane
but I thought some thoughts I think are worthy
of putting on a page.
I saw the car to my left, the slick road glowing red.
I thought, just for a moment, what it might be like to be dead.
I ran a red light today, and god that's so morbid,
I thought that if I died, I'd never
finish something I started.
I felt my lungs twitch and my heart freeze,
signals shooting from my head.
Just what would I be missing, if I was cold and dead?
I ran a red light today, and god it's not that big a deal
but my mind went still and I didn't know
how I should feel.
I still need to lose a few pounds, meet someone new
all those petty things
we people go through.
I ran a red light today, and god I don't know why I care
but I guess it's because I like it here
rather than nowhere.
