Getaway Car by Jocelyn Kingman

I get motion sickness the same way that I get nervous when I am with you
I have a nice view to distract from me from the feeling
that I am not made for moving fast
Even though my heart is happy and I am excited for the journey
I can’t help but get sick
Having to open the window a crack
The fresh air on my face to remind me
that my mind is constantly at war with my body
and the One moment that the flag has been waved
Is when I am in the car
Moving at 1000 miles an hour and my heart is racing in the fast lane
That this conundrum of mine could possibly be enough for you?
Always being a passenger to your ever moving mobile
That I have programmed my GPS to
Rerouting at every heart beat
Every pause, every breath
Every time you say I love you
An emotional collision ahead: Brace for impact
Air bags deployed
I roll down the window for a second time
But this time I open the door
I will walk to my destination instead
