Speeding







The minor tragedy of a father and his son




Those bloody cops, they were always stopping me.
I had nine points, I couldn’t risk another one.
And those grubby hacks on my back – it’s jealousy.
They were going to give me a driving ban
That’s why I said it was your mum.
By the way, she won’t be going to Holloway!
You left her. I hate you. You stupid man
Those years of rushing, they were no holiday.
I love you. Hope you know that. It was all for you, son.
I despise you. My anger grows more each day.
I could never stop. I had to push, on and on.
Remember mum's birthday. Good luck in you exam.
Don’t text me again. You don't know who I am.
