driving into the 18th hour straight
eyes escape me as the mind starts to wander
three minutes past the quarter hours late
weary and tired, how much longer begins to ponder
odometer reads a mere 83 despite a limit of 65
a few moments later time tells 2:36
the music droans as it no longer sounds live
swig the coffee and bourbon mix
suddenly sirens show as speed is now at 101
so close to home and in despair
2:54 time now tells with only a fraction of time gone
crash at 0:00 to die without a care
