You said I was the gas
and someone needed to be
the brake. We never talked
of steering, choosing
the road. I guess
we always knew
which road we were on.
You said I was the gas
and someone needed to be
the brake. But we broke
so memorably,
broke with a flair
that kept us intact
barely aware of the winding
rush of air through our
hair.
We were road-bound, driven,
Between the shoulders, our
hearts
Moved by something we knew
not to name.
