Velocity

Drive,

Headlights call,

Engine rumbles,

Inhaled exhaust,

Crank the music.

Wind rushes,

Open windows,

Dark roads,

Vast emptiness.

Breath,

Press the gas,

Acceleration,

Tight stomach,

Exhale.

Signs flash,

Memories flash,

Lights flash,

Life flash.

Empty tank,

Quiet station,

Lonely road home,

Parking brake,

Lights off.

Remnants,

Burnt rubber,

Tire marks,

Dried tears.
