Speed

On a nice summer day
there am I on the motorway
free road in front of me
i twist the gas grip
she speeds up
i can see the speedo running
at 8000 rpm the ram air gives another kick
like a turbo kicking in
i can feel my blood pumping
i feel the sweat pearls on my forehead
a little dot far in front
appears in seconds as a car next to me
tunnelvision
my blood pumps even faster
I can hear my heart pulsing
she still accelerates
a millisecond glimpse
at the speedo
290kph
wow
traffic builds up
i am slowing down
next service station I stop
i lay down on the grass
wow
I am exhausted like after good sex
just want to chill
--
lets do it again
