A High-Tuned White Boy and his Come-to-Jesus Moment

 

Only yesterday he was in control

Of his high-tuned, high-speed, white-boy screaming ride

Race-tracking our pot-holed, beer-canned country road

Without regard for sanity, safety, or sense

 

Today he sits and sulks in the passenger seat

Of the little wifey’s Toyota sedan

Shadowed by his grim-faced mother-in-law

Like maybe they’re off to see the judge

 

In this procession he seems all alone -

His hot sports car is apparently gone
