On the Drive Home

By: Grace Wilcox

white road lines merging under

our worn out tires,

taking us away

the radio vibrates with

noise over the homeless 

man on the curb,

boombox over stereo

used to be versions of me

over what we’re left with

maybe he wants to get hit

i thought

maybe i want to

do not enter warning signs

what happens when you do?

if only it warned me

about you.
