Speed limits
Posted: May 20th, 2007, 5:28 am
These days
are like highways,
careening along,
we ride the
grey planks,
divided by bright,
overpainted,
lily-white lines.
Anymore,
I ignore,
stupid, lanky,
asinine,
speed limit signs.
I whisper to myself,
shut up words
on metal poles!
You fucking silent,
flaring,
nostrils of the road,
shut up.
I wrote you,
paid for you,
became spellbound
by you.
But no more.
Not today.
Because I don't believe in you,
those holy ethers
of your thou,
oh inanimate rulers,
of my roads,
you lie.
You cheat,
you entitle,
you kill,
until I have no choice,
but to unbuckle everything,
take a chance,
make a stance,
a case of drive or die,
trusting that you
will disappear,
into the sulphurous,
bellowing velocity
I'm leaving behind,
never to be seen,
or so poorly written,
again.
