Driving driving driving. Today I went for a drive. It started as I was pissed off. Driving away from my problems made me feel better. Turn and drive. Which way gets me further from my problem. How long can I be on the road. Turn. Turn. Still driving. An hour later I get bored and return home, when my problems seem to think they are better. Wrong. Keep being mad. Ignore them. Ice them out. Just keep driving in your head.
