As we all sit there in the car

Trying not to fall asleep at the light

Because it is too late

Too late for anything to happen

As mother drives the vehicle

Trying not to snap at her eldest son

Because it is too late

Too late to fix mistakes

As the youngest nods off backside

Trying not to smack into the window

Because it is too late

Too late to stay awake

As the eldest talks in passive aggression

Trying not to be showy with his ignorance

Because it is too late

Too late to undo the undertones

As the daughter sits passenger seat

Trying not to join in on arguments while typing this up

Because it is too late

Too late to open her mouth

As we all sit there in the car

To each their own, yet still together

Trying not to collide heads

Because it would be too late

Too late for anything to be resolved.
