Compassionate Conservatism

Joel Ewy

Issue 11 * Spring 2003

Thank God,
You must have thought
As you cruised away
In your fat, fucking minivan,
Thank God I went for the
Protective undercoating

Surely you thought this
As you cruised down the road
Through Suburbia,
Away from the small, bloody pile of puppy
And the horrified little boys
Crying on the shoulder

Jesus,
You must have prayed,
I have to save my
Antilock brakes
For when I tailgate
On the highway
