kinematics

so thinking back
is an easy thing 

this done wrong 
that done right 

left is go right is stop 

as long as there is no crash 

the insurance won't kick in 

still i don't remember how it came to pass 

that i became the one to drive from here to there 

the way to the beach was all me 
the way back i sat back and felt my life escape 

as my little girl took the wheel 
she drove well thinking back 

even as her brother yelled and scripted 
and my mom slept and i sat still, so still 
if she tried she could've heard my heart 

yes, thinking back is an easy thing to do 
sitting back 
enjoying 
not so 
fast
