Testo teatrale americano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Monologo di un guidatore di SUV.

I grew up in a small town where owning your own car is more than a necessity, trucks are the norm, and owning a nice one is something
to be proud of. But here: "Oh you drive that big gas guzzler eh?" Fuck. I just want to close my eyes, clench my fists and keep on driving. Right over the edge. Because... everybody else still is, why do I have to be the one to quit?!

La mia proposta:

[...] Perchè...ognuno resta com'è , perchè devo essere io quello ad arrendermi?

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie.
