going somewhere slowly

white-knuckled
blood
beating my skull
like fists

i watch the lights
turn green to
red
to
green to red
and my wheels never
turn

locked inside
a steel cell

ihavesomewheretobedonttheysee?

fucks fly from
my mouth
until

two kids with
two smiles and
two cans
float over like leaves
that have just let go

and then so do i

let go

and drop
a bill into the can

it's for sick kids mister

but really
it was for me
