The Boys And The Girls Who Don't Wear Seatbelts Poem by Raj Dronamraju

To know what happens or doesn't happen
Sexual paralysis on the interstate
Delude yourself youth is an athletic shoe rebellion
And the boys and the girls don't wear seatbelts

Rough outdoor knuckles and gasfire sluggish mornings
Poltroons in modest attire
Allow the rod spared adolescent to weigh indolence as luxury
And the boys and the girls don't wear seatbelts

The bathing suit profile picture fills the needs of two people
And generates the high for the lab rat attention addict
Who sees any validation of self as reason for being
for the boys and the girls who don't wear seatbelts

Terrible crash of careless wills outside this assembly
Ferret all accomplices from among the mindless displaced folks
At home, grimy parent substitutes relive the teenager mirage
When the boys and the girls didn't wear seatbelts
