drive stick

When I get in a car I'm like KEY turn
CLUTCH and the stick forward up, as the engine catches
CAUGHT and the stick comes
all the way back, right, back
as reverse goes the roll, and the wheels to the side
like in one smooth glide,
then forward slip CATCH
clutch stick wheels grab POUNCE
pavement thrown back, and the driveway
only has about a second left, as I see
all the way up both directions YES
there's a GAP
and I stick
clutch
shift
THRUST
GO!!!!
In my bad sweet ride, my toy
yo toy yo ta, yo
