SPEED


Motion... building...zero to sixty

And beyond until the friction

Singes against supple skin,

And eyes begin to mist and blink

To focus on what lies ahead,

As passion quickly turns to dread,

Adrenaline pumps fast and fierce.

A pounding heart pounds harder yet

Like jungle drums foreboding doomed

Anticipation of regret.

But it keeps moving; cannot stop;

Becomes addicted to itself,

An all-consuming fervent passion

Fueled by fever, cloaked in stealth,

Feeding on it's own desire

Speed keeps building higher, higher,

Higher!  Faster!  faster yet...

Until it's time to pay the debt.
