you seem tense

as she drove the car
beyond the speed limit,
i pumped
my invisible brakes
on the passenger side,
i gripped
the dashboard
as if it was a steering
wheel.
i tightened my seat belt
and braced myself
for impact
as we bolted through
a yellow light.
is everything okay,
she asked, looking
up from her cell phone?
you seem tense.
