Put your hands up

Turn your engine off

Stop

He stopped me on the highway without any fear

Pulled out his lights and writing gear

"Hello Officer," my gentle eyes say

Questions rattle off the tip of his tongue

For I fit the description of someone on the run

He pulls out his gun

When he calls for a "little" backup

My heart stops

Time quickly drifts by

But when they get there

He could only sigh

Sorry, sir, you have the wrong guy

A smile hangs my face

I can't help but think it is my race

When they apologize, I peeled out and said goodbye!
