going nowhere fast

was there ever a yellow
light
she couldn't beat?
not that i remember when
i was a passenger
in her 1980 Trans Am
with the painted
bird on the hood.
with one hand on wheel, 
nails painted red,
a cigarette in her mouth,
and her hair poofed up
like a starlet in an MTV
video, off we went.
always in a hurry to get
nowhere fast.
