highway (Free verse) by sarah
she
got me started like i was a car
you know?
ignition in.
go!
switching gears
like i have time for her attempt to infect me with fear.
pah - leez.
no.
so i returned her call
eloquently speaking in fact
expressing
i inventoried each factor in evidence,
i wanted to get this shit over with
i ran through the list in a self-assured way
my manner was a matter of fact
my finish was like screeching into park
perfectly
you know - like they do in the movies?
telling her never to call me again
unless
the call was conveying an apology
she
got me going like i was a lamborghini
i was flying down the highway
my release was amazing
my delivery was astounding
i could feel the truth resounding
beautiful.
man...
sometimes a person comes out of nowhere
i don't know why
i gotta figure from whom
but for some reason when i've needed release most
some complete idiot is delivered into my hands
they push the precisely perfect buttons born of ignorance
to pseudo-somatically persecute me
somehow in so doing i have discovered they were a gift though, see?
i face up to an affront where i know i'm the virtuous one and am
attacked (so-to-speak),
i proceed to pummel with purity, with politeness even,
sure - i turn the other cheek, but in the midst of all that i must
deliver a righteous speech.
winning respect, even better: winning self respect via self-expression
not holding back
...
yeah.
so that's that.
