your best chance is to forget the time

and focus on the road.

the more you glance at it (fluorescent blue across 

your dark console)

the slower the early minutes will creep by.


turn up your music

do your best to sing along

this beat is your lifeboat

in the foggy haze of your road

(you should know that the clearer 

the night, the hazier your road.

the fog lives in your head behind

your eyes and clouds what is real).


do your best not to close your eyes

keep away the feeling of safety

(you are not safe yet).

do your best to hold onto the memory

of where you are coming from.

don't be afraid to let the

the feeling of a cold car and a warm boy

be the thing that keeps your

mind alert.
