沒有號誌的路口左轉,總是等到天荒地老。
紅燈右轉,細思量;總覺轉到一半就會被腰斬。
怕死了綠燈右轉;每每一轉過去正好換燈,只見後視鏡裡一橫排三個車道的追兵。
原本是一人領先的凸字型,不一會兒就被左右包夾、超前,成了凹字型車陣…再回復成『凸』、漸漸拖長形成『中』。
我是最底下那一點。
直行也難。
40MPH – 脊背離椅十公分、45MPH – 廿公分;依此類推。
加速、換道,這工作就勞駕別人吧!
紅燈,一定停;有時來到綠燈路口,也緩緩減速,停。
猛然回神,後頭的好心人 –1、2、3、共四台車好整以暇地一聲不吭停車相伴。
分明是一路綠燈,總像作弄人似地在我面前變換,嗚嗚~我不要、不要停在第一輛打頭陣。
停車、拔鑰匙,每次都像從煉獄爬了一趙回來。

《The Wallflowers - One Headlight》
So long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
So I wondered how she hung around this place
[Chorus:]
Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me & Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight
She said it's cold
It feels like Independence Day
And I can't break away from this parade
But there's got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
We'll run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothin' left
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge
[chorus]
Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
I think her death it must be killin' me
[chorus]
