beyond Montana’s yellow lines there is a field ~a field of painted soles      and laces rubber tread ~a field of ****** curls      and fallen headlights where kaleidoscope lenses look onto twisted frames          like origami halos where teddy bears hug stop signs like pickets      fringed in anger           runaway childhoods sleep cautionary tales    beyond Montana’s blushing acne there are red cup melodies      blasting from blacked out tints           weaving blues notes through Rock & Rap distant cries are drowned by Bass      or maybe Bud (light) a haze of teenage eyes they might as well be ghost riders whip game copped from GTA these pubescents are a Vice to their City blooming sidewalk sloths like flowerbeds beyond Montana is a country of bar stools    where bar tenders play therapists         and therapists play coroners precedents are shots of whiskey - taken to the head and reflected in flooded eyes beyond Montana is a country of MADD mothers and SADD students beyond Montana is a country of unexpecting pedestrians beyond Montana is a field ~a field of wing-clipped snow angels That field is Mariah's home now and she challenges you to change    yourself         your friends              your country she challenges you to STOP DRUNK DRIVING

Mariah's Challenge

Look up Leo McCarthy especially if you're in high school going to college. He was one of the 2012 CNN Heroes and this poem is dedicated to his daughter Mariah. Also: sloth = group of bears MADD = Mothers Against Drunk Driving SADD = Students Against Destructive Decisions
