Like in rap music when
a man is driving alone, listening to
the passenger seat, empty
in the real world it's not enough
the leather seat says,
ad-libbing the song that's playing,
hi-hats glinting like chrome that
hasn't started to peel
not yet

Rap music is kind of like that;
from a place that's a city
whose name is yelled
autotuned
at the beginning of every set
and you're forever young and we're rich forever and
I'm still here, the man
the car peels out, engine revs, I
parallel park, these chains make it hard
