I Was Behind Your Muse Today

I was behind your muse today
In a slow moving traffic jam
I wanted to tell her to put it in gear
That the fan belt wouldn't pull it
But then I wondered if cars these days

Even have a fan belt
And so I thought better of the whole ordeal

And quietly waited to pass

And when I did

I felt so sorry for the waif
And wondered that she’d had the gumption
To dump the likes of you
She seemed so anemic and altogether wasted
But I knew the feel of that look from the inside

For you'd worn me out too
