A day in the life

So, I’m driving down the freeway, maybe seventy miles an hour, right? I’m all wrapped up in my head and thinking about all the shit I’ve got piled up, you know, like soaking dishes and stuff. Anyways, I’m sitting there, in my car, not even hearing the music. I try to roll up my window, and it’s stuck. I look over, and to my left, at least two lanes across, the only other car on the road. I’ve never seen her before, but she smiles like… like I’m somebody…

I realize I’m staring like an idiot, and I look to the road and try to remember where I’m going. At eighty seven miles an hour. I look back, and she’s speeding off. For a second I almost go after her. I see a version of my life where it’s this crazy adventure, and I go and pick her flowers, and she smiles like that again. I get chills so strong I can feel every single hair on my head, and I put my foot to the floor. This is gonna be my life, I just know that I have got to chase after this girl. She’s gonna change everything. She’s gonna lead me into something wild and crazy, and I’m gonna be somebody.

And then my engine blows. Smoke’s coming out of everywhere, and I’m standing on the side of the road calling for a tow, sweating like a pig in July.
