Sunscreen

I’ll put it on
if I’m about to go driving.
Especially during the hours
of ten to four, maybe.
The UV rays so bright,
so sizzling.

Tinted windows
but we’re not allowed
the front screen.
Driving gloves? Sometimes,
if I remember to wear it.

I like to drive in Silence.
I like to drive listening
to Podcasts, to Taylor Swift,
to Lo-Fi beats.

It’s easy to daydream but
also… watch where you’re
going!

Police could be undercover
on the highway, the M1.
Use your seatbelt.
Both hands on the steering
wheel.
Check the rear view.

Keep your distance.

For safety.
