Be sure to cover my eyes when we round that corner
where we stood just inside the lines one long goodbye ago.
one backward glance. bloody roadkill calling.
I can't resist. I never could.

And now just look around.
There is no sign of us anywhere.
There never was.

Drove around with you all night
Angry hamsters spinning in our cages.
Still angriest the backseat driver, softly:
"Can't you drive a little faster?"
Then daring us to come what may

And now just look around.
There is no sign of us anywhere.
There never was.

Be sure to cover my eyes
when we round that corner
