He was lying in the road
Pointing
To the party up ahead
A shaky mpeg in the road
Showing as a modern Holbein of our own:
The Driver
He was lying in the road
Over-shadowed

He was floating in the ether
He was floating down the road

We were driving down the road
Just chatting
The driver got out his mobile phone
Pointing
He was lying on the road
Bleeding
He became a passing text
That buzzed across the party's phones and lips
Trembling

He was floating in the ether
He was floating down the road
He was floating in the ether
He was floating down the road
