          A High-Tuned White Boy and his Come-to-Jesus Moment

Only yesterday he was in control
Of his high-tuned, high-speed, white-boy screaming ride
Race-tracking our ***-holed, beer-canned country road
Without regard for sanity, safety, or sense

Today he sits and sulks in the passenger seat
Of the little wifey’s Toyota sedan
Shadowed by his grim-faced mother-in-law
Like maybe they’re off to see the judge

In this procession he seems all alone -
His hot sports car is apparently gone
