One simple request is all it took to start this.
The passenger asks the driver for a ride home.
The driver couldn’t deny doing a simple favor.
So the car waited before they could leave the crowd.
The night had darkened; street poles dimly glowing.
Keys in the ignition, seatbelts on, tires rolling.
The car shared a moment of music and singing.
Until the car reached the destination, home.
“Hey, do you hear the music from my headphones?”
The driver replied: “No, You got something on?”
“Lean in closer to my ear. You hear what I hear?”
As the passenger turns their face to the driver’s.
The car arrived home, while they let the rest play out.
