Exit 7

I know it's not exactly a word battle, but its still words. I figured the title alone would trick people into coming in here and reading it. Comments, criticisms, anything. Talk from the hip, bizzatches. And hey, DMC, you and I should be battling in here. Or working on an FNF rap.

 

Exit 7

 

2 am

doing 77 past exit 7

(if I hit 88 will I go back

in time?)

nothing behind me

January Miami night

wizzes and whines

blows in

slaps me awake with its wetness.

Clarity plays on the radio

stutters in the middle with trumpets

seeming right in signature and sound.

My half open eyes fight

to stay trained on tail

lights half a mile ahead.

 

Between blinks I think

of Anne's instant

messenger elevator

and the conversation within.

Me looking for a watch

up Jimmy Hoffa's ass

her heading for a base jump

and later

old night on a beach

out of a black and white

photograph

the only color

light blue marblish eyes

and an orange cone

taking a nap in the sand

under the lifeguard's house.

 

You figure giddy

would be the last thing

doing a slow crawl

up my spine

as I hit 99

after another opposite sex

interview ending

in just a peck on the cheek

plus a premonition of death

in the black wings

of a crow flying low enough

across the freeway

to be caught in the wake of me.

I love you guys for paying attention to me. Beers shall be bought for you during the meet. Thank you patting the fat sentimental kid inside of me on the back.

 

I threw the back to the future in there cause it's 77 at the beginning (and that actually happened, it's one of the things on that particular day that made me think I might die, lots of weird number related shit happened to me along with the bird on the freeway) and then I have 88 BTTF and then 99 at the end.
