He touched my skin with no way hands
Carrying disclaimer cards
In the back pocket of my jeans
He said I was no good at wearing

As I was signing waivers
In the backseat of his 5 speed
And my intentions scowled
At the absence of some exit

My pen ran dry
As well as other places
When he pointed out all the lines
I refused to give my name

Until his eyes focused
Back on the roads fork
And weary suggestions
Had us stuck to drippy vinyl

While there was little else to do
I stole his chain smoke habit
For just a second
I let my hair fall waste length

And wrapped the scrunchy quick
Around my own uncovered thigh
Lighting up
When I saw his stick shift
