KJR

I hear an old song on the radio
That seemed to speak to me. I can't recall
What station, or what song, but even so
I felt it called to me. Life seemed to stall,
Even at full speed out on the highway
And I just listened, while, terribly slow,
It said to me all that it had to say
(And that was nothing that I didn't know)
And waited for the crash, which ought to show
How much I felt, but doesn't - and the end,
I, still alive, restarted driving, though
The song stay with me past the highway's bend.
And yet I don't know why. Why should that stay
When other memories have blown away?
