Driving Tired at Night

You’re floating down the city’s throat
and your dreams are filling your head
like water and your rubber skull is stretching.

Balance your car like a plate on a stick.
The illusion of lightness burned off the car
and even your body feels as heavy as it is.

You have the momentum of a pulsar falling.
If you crashed into the ground, you’d bore
a vein through the earth and come out weightless.
