"Crash Years"

Poppy and Gabriel are sitting in the car during rush hour in bumper to bumper traffic. Poppy is vaping with her feet on the dashboard and Gabriel is driving.

Gabriel: Traffic always like this? 

Poppy: At this time or in general? “Traffic was slow for the” STOP you’re about to “crash…years.”

Gabriel: Dude, I know how to drive. 

Poppy: Traffic jams… “there’s no other show like it.” 

Gabriel: That’s all there is to do “ ‘round here” is sit in traffic? I can’t believe I came to visit you. 

Poppy: Psh, it was bound to happen. It’s been 4 years. 

Gabriel: “As a rule” I only go to major cities.

Poppy: With traffic like this it is a major city now. 

Gabriel: You mind if the “windows [are] rolled” down?

Poppy: Don’t “crash!” You gotta pay attention. It’s been “years” since I rolled down the windows, but sure.

Gabriel: What do you want to do when we get back to your place? 

Poppy: “Light a candle” and watch it till the “end.” 

Gabriel: Do you keep the lights off and use candles still? It was always so dimly lit.

Poppy: (jokingly) “You are a light turned low.”

Gabriel: Okay, vampire. “The rest of us” will use the overheads. 

Poppy: Do you still have “those old eternity blues?”

Gabriel: Ohhh, that’s one way to put it. “Eternity blues.”

Poppy looks like she’s about to say something, but is at a loss for words.

Gabriel: What were you about to say?

Poppy: Oh nothing.

Gabriel: “Your fingers raised, you’re looking for [a] word.”

Poppy: Did you see that over there. 

Gabriel: What?

Poppy: “What you [wanted. An] accident.”

Gabriel: I don’t want that. Can you pass me the pen?

Poppy: Let me take “another drag.” (passes over the vape pen)

Gabriel: Thank you. We’ve moved about three inches. (sarcastically) What a “spectacular view.”
