Black Honda

thirteen years old, thirty in his bones. five dollars in his pocket, nothing else. the backseat of a car, a streetlight flickering above it like it couldn't make up its mind. someone in the front seat taught him how to hold his ground before he knew what ground he was standing on. somewhere down the road, a door closes on someone he loves. the door doesn't open when it's supposed to. it just finds new locks. that's the way it works, once they have you, they don't let go, they just change the reason. Rudy walks the same street later. same flickering light, different door. it takes him a long time to find the handle. when it finally opens, there's no music, no crowd waiting. just him, standing in the light.

13 going on 30
Got 5 dollars in my name
In the backseat of a honda
Just tryna fill my lungs up

Ain't no nepo babies
No ivy league
Chicana jaina in the front seat
