drunk driving is therapeutic. it takes you places you wouldn't have gone. it helps you forget death lies between the lines. it lets you smile at the red blurry lights. it's the closest thing to a surreal sex scene in a sad slow drama, where there's much more rage than there's lust and desire in the eyes of the actor. drunk driving is just wrong, and wrong always feels good to commit.
there they were in my rear view mirror, they were all there. she had cut her hair, i'd never seen her with short hair before. glossy lipstick, bright pink cheeks and pitch black mascara, her eyes smiling, leaning on her side, she was drunk too.
she was wearing a green dress and gold shoes, she sat next to her.
she was singing along with the french song that was playing in the cd player. it was the one she'd bought from starbucks a while back.
she was reading a book with my photo on the cover. she glanced at me with her brown eyes, shook her head at me with a shy smile, and continued reading.
she rubbed my shoulders from behind. she said i'll be fine, but now i should leave.
she opened the door and took off without saying good bye. the car behind me picked her up, they kissed in the car.
i reached for the button on the cd player and raised the volume. i raised it even more. they were all gone now.
drunk driving is just plain wrong. it messes with your head, that's why some choose to crash into the car in front of them, or the one behind. they can't take the trip, and they choose to die.
