Bueller

(inspired by the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off)
*entry for poem about a movie competition*


~


Carry your youth
as it ends
in the back of the car
with your friends.

You may notice it
wither and die,
give it more
than regret or a sigh -

give it love,
give it freedom and fun,
dodge a bullet
or grab it and run.

He let red through the window
to smash,
turned his father's remains
with a crash -

I rest easy
just knowing he's free,
but that car died
with some part of me.
