Collision Course

Larry Wells Jr 2003 (Nevada)

A revving engine
And a racing heart in the
Heat of the moment

Stronger and faster
Just pushing the envelope
Swerving in and out

Slipping and spinning
Out of control, his earrings
Fly out the window

A head flung through glass
A man cracked open like eggs
His time slips away

Now with lights flashing
Another ending too soon
This episode ends
