POETRY BY LUCY PARR

12/16/2021

 
TW: ALLUSION TO CAR ACCIDENT 

A Poem about driving in my (sisters?) car in a year I can’t remember

There’s a bridge and a car.
The car is going 85 in a 70
the bridge is also going
but infinitesimally slower.
​There’s a man screaming on the stereo
there’s a voice screaming in the driver’s head.
​A girl is attempting to nap through
the cacophony of the stereo.
A girl is chattering in the front seat,
getting free therapy over the music.
​There’s a driver in the driver’s seat,
not sleeping,
not talking.
​There’s a driver
​in a car
​and a bridge
​and a theoretical
crash
​waiting
​to
​happen.
