Here's a poem, my poem of the month

80 MPH

IM REVVED UP, SO READY

IM GOING FASTER THAN

THE SUGGESTED SPEED

HUGGING THE INSIDES

OF THESE WINDING HIGHWAY ROADS’

THEY THINK THEY’RE SO NARROW

THEY THINK THEIR CURVES ARE NICE

BUT IM PASSING RIGHT THROUGH THEM

IM DRIVING AS THE CROW FLIES

AND HAVING DEVIOUS THOUGHTS

ALMOST DEVILLISH REVELATIONS

SOMEONE AUGHT TO

PULL ME OVER

THE WINDOWS DOWN

I TAKE EVERY SOUND AT ITS LOUDEST

I’M HITTING 80 MPH AND 90

BUT A TRUCK STARTS PASSING

AND ITS HISSING EVEN FASTER

AND MY HALF ROLLED WINDOWS

ARE CHATTERING AND NERVOUS

ITS PASSES AND ON ITS BIG

BLANK CANVAS OF A CONTAINER

THE TRUCK SAYS

“FEAR THYSELF”

ITS SNARLING, BUT NOT MAD

MY HEART AND MOTOR RACING

MY DEVILLISH THOUGHTS GET QUIET

TWO MORE TRUCKS WIZ BY

“NOT AFRAID OF TRUCKS”

I LEAN IN TO THE GAS

THE WINDOWS HIDE INSIDE THE DOORS

THE WINDING HIGHWAY ROAD

THE CAR HUMS AND HUGS

IM NOT AFRAID OF TRUCKS

THE AIR CHIMES IN AS I RUSH ON
