Dark outside
Street lights whir past our vision
and their glow swirls in our eyes
painting our cheeks
golden in the midnight.
Coming back from the show
high on music and
each other's presence
we drive, tucked safe inside the car
its headlights beat the road into vision
the driver reaches over
fumbling, spirals a dial
Music swarms the car
choking us
We laugh
we suffocate in its
warmth.
Different reality
of a different dimension
with our highlighted cheeks
and our shooting-star eyes
I don't remember when I was last this happy
I scream out lyrics as
we near the ending
lost in my own world
of youth and of chaos.
A cosmos of lightning,
we drive on.
