Plastic Canopies

The road underneath slides by
Like clouds made of solidified smog
And traffic is moving so well.

Two points for a Bug.

Visions of would-be lives appear
On flatscreens frozen in time,
Those poor abandoned        s.

Always drinking with painted smiles.

A million different worlds race
To the green zero marker,
The end of an uneventful trip.

Thank God I'm back from the in-laws.

You write like you hate society and all that conformist raz-ma-taz.

all those counterfeit smiles and fake memories.

all things we take for granted, eh?

Well done on this one.

You're style reminds me a bit of mine back in the day.

I left my wallet in El Segundo...
And I gotta get it
I got got to get it!

i don't      society, i was just watching things on the highway, like billboards for example and laughed because these people are permantly frozen to one emotion. they never show what effects alchohol can have in large quantities, it's like the best of society is displayed and al consquences forgotten. anyway, thanks a lot.
