Orange Toenails

Orange toenails
curled around accelerator pedal.
Constant pressure, downward
ever increasing pressure.
Passengers hang on
to whatever in their grasp.
Sharp turn of car
downward pressure on
brake pedal.
Bodies thrust forward
and then back.
Driver has her one hand
in air, middle finger
standing straight up,
other hand manuevers
steering wheel.
Ears, our not-so-innocent ears
hear, "You little fuckin' whore"
didn't they not know
we were off to Baltimore?

Orange toenails again on the gas
this car is going fast,
"We're off to Baltimore
and this fuckin' little whore
isn't going to keep us away anymore.
Next year will it be a
fuckin' hillbilly
keeping us from Philly?"
