The eight second ride

a frame of mind

I thought I was fine

but I wasn't alright.


The eight seconds passed

I never though I'd last

the memories from my past

the one's half-assed.


Eight seconds long

the bell like a gong

signaling me along

like an old drinking song.


Eight seconds down

zero more to drown

not a soul in this country town

who will wear my broken crown.


Eight second ride, not a winner

a stomach without dinner

a mess is inner

and I'm still a sinner.
