I can't believe I wrote a poem about my minivan - how embarrassing

 
Back and forth
Here and there
My butt has worn a groove
Seat fits like a glove
Spare hats, granola bars, Kleenex and cash
This van could be my home

Between runs, the only time alone
Process pain with foot to the floor
Angry music propels me
Wailing in the privacy of my speeding fishbowl
Don’t cut me off, arsehole, I’m too close to the edge
This van could be my weapon

More back and forth
Weary and worn
Endless, endless miles
Burning the earth as I sit in a trance
Blinking heavy, stay on course...
This van could be my casket
