test driving on a friday night
I was poring over the google map
finger tracing past the sanctuary
and the prison
heading straight to bridge out road
we were seeing red
that’s for sure
going faster & longer than ever before
me gripping the wheel like a maniac
and you relaxed
in the passenger seat
drawing on a one-twenty cigarette
the hand-cranked window rolled down
march two thousand twenty-one

picturing the passenger made me smile. what’s a 120 cigarette?
cool that!
a regular marlboro for example is 80mm but a virginia slim is 120mm.
