The Car My Father Gave Me

That night I dreamed
I wrecked the car my father gave me,
That night I dreamed
That I had broken without intention
Every convention that held me to this earth.

But time passed
And my father passed
And wisdom did not obtain...

Tonight I dream
That I have been arrested
And brought to court
And brought to folly
And brought beneath
The heavy judgment of angry men
Who will be judged.
