Green yellow red
Are the color of my pills
Pass go I collect them all
The road rages in my head

There's a special place
In my heart for guns:
Left ventricle
Where the bullet lodged

I had a hard time
Seeing other people's
Point of view
So I started collecting opinions
Now I can't make up my mind

I like to go places
It's people I avoid
I travel mostly abroad
But can't recall her name
Half the time

A good driving record
Is worth zilch these days
But ******* might
Lower my premiums

Dogs are man's best friend
Yet they lick themselves
Men are better drivers than women
Yet they trick themselves
Too much time spent in cars
And not enough
In the one they love

There's an old saying
I can't remember
And it goes something
Like this:

Wipe the dust from your feet
Before you come inside
It keeps the house in order
Especially should it get
Sold out from under you

Most of us are but one paycheck
Away from being homeless
Man is the most dangerous animal
Dwelling in the cage of his vehicle
I used to work on Wall Street
Most days now I just pray

Don't worry
Everything equals out in the end
Except life
I'm always so sure
What lies beyond the next bend
Will finally be to my advantage
How could it be though
When my creditors
Own the road?
Inspired by the poem "Sven" from fellow HP writer Caro.

Technology marches forward,

Never stopping,

Technology marches forward,

Always progressing.


It permeates our homes,

It resides in our pockets,

The big company's own Sherlock Holmes,

Seeing deep within our lockets.


It gets us where,

We want to go,

Through the air,

Or through the traffic flow.


It runs our lives,

Leading us along,

Like bees in hives,

We follow it's rhythmic song.


Technology marches forward,

Not caring for its creators,

Technology marches forward,

As humanities technological dictators.

I hop out my ride in the morning
Still dark out dawn don't rise
Then it rise up no warning
I grab my keys and rock that ride
Steer so fine and keep it straight
Straight line highway lanes aye
The crowd all stare and smile
I make them wear it every mile
Adult and child
I have waited a while
To get to this place
Am I awake
Check is this fake
This is real I feel the wheel
I take those turns so smooth
This the path I choose
I look back, the truth is
I knew I would get here
I just feared I was wrong
But my songs pushed me along
Riding with the crew
We shift so fast we drift too
Luxury whips, we drift, we shift
Watch us lift up to success
I got here dad I guessed
I told you I could
Deep inside you knew I would
I took that path, yeah

The night is perfect.

Cold air relief
From the loud
Heat of the bus.

Beyond the road
People laugh
And embrace;
A perfect soundtrack
That ignites the silent stillness.  

I don't know where
You're coming from,
So I look both ways:

Left.
Right.
Left.
Right.
Left.
A headlight!

Every time
An approaching car
Announces itself
Through engine and gravel,
I turn and look up as
A speedbump throws light
Flaring through my retina,
Obscuring everything,
So that for a few seconds,
I have no idea
If it's you or not.

And with each passing car,
My anticipation
Grows.
And my excitement
Grows.

I am happy.

We drive mad but we have
Fun with ease and we please
But we bad, we just leave
A mark of shame, look so lame
******* with a hint of spice
Mad souls with a hint of spice
We like ice, like to drive
Rock our rides till we die
Rise above and love the fact you can
Understand the fact we will
We have fun, we ain't done
Stop lights we ain't still
We be flexing somehow some way
Today, every day
Aye
We drive mad but we have
Fun with ease and we please
But we bad, we just leave
See us fly, see us drive
See us slide, see us drift
See this gift to your eyes
We can die, you survive
Enjoy the sight, we just glide
Enjoy our ride
We still young, we still dumb
We just having fun
At least we don't smoke or drink
We smoke tires, not drugs, just think
Most teens do that stuff
We just drive fast and slide around
But we don't hurt the town
We look around, we are safe
For others, okay
We drive mad but we have
Fun with ease and we please
But we bad, we just leave

Earthly blood.

Pushing.
Left inside the crimson.
Ton of
Thorn.
Like the village where we came from.
Green.
Itching.
Dust on the self.
Dust on the shelf where Frida Kahlo stood.
Dust standing dance.
Dust for your health.
And flowers for the some to die.
Just like how I should.




Garrett Johnson.
Sylvia oh Sylvia.

(Yeah, that's right, this is mine, you didn't think so did ya?)
Rolling through the mall and rolling down the block
Echo the walls and now I gotta stop
Look at what I got, rocking the lot
Loud exhaust, the fumes gonna blow
Yes you thought, now I gonna show
Drive by fast, now I gotta go
Get keyed so I park alone
It look so good, art to your eyes
No tint so I won't hide
Windows down and watch me fly by
Take that crown and look at my ride
Come key it now you ***** come try
This **** won't make me cry
It will make me rise
I will die with this car
I'm a star in the making
These are steps I am taking
And none of your **** gonna take me
I'm warning you now
I'm just awaking
I rule this town
I ain't faking
I am real so my life
Is too I look at you
And I see you stare or glance
I just laugh and you **** your pants
How that kid got that car?
That's right, I'm a star
Don't forget you *******
I'm a show you what I got
And you gonna stop, dream your wishes
(Yeah, see this ****, yeah, aye, yeah)
