No Apparent Reason

Too much saliva and a lack of respect...

I saw you
6 years old
Play fighting with your sister
On your way to school
Big grin
Innocence within
Bag around shoulder
With sandwiches in

You don't know anything yet
Except......

How to spit with great accuracy at passing cars
For no apparent reason
It was a joy to watch
Your big grin getting even bigger as you hit your target
As I sit there
Wanting to mow you down
Along with your parents
Noticable only by their absence

I'm sure I'll be able to recognise them though

They will be the ones emitting an unholy quantity of phlegm
Over a brand new Mercedes
For no apparent reason
