Poem

Stuck on a hybrid labyrinth race track in undue course

Crash helmet cracked under the raw tempo of stagnation

Chequered flags waving but a motor running against the clock

In reverse and the traffic prohibits pit stops for tyres and fuel

          Exhausted depleted high on adrenaline withdrawal
	
          A silent movie plays on tiring spools of grey matter
	
          More like a collection of photographs in faded sepia
	
          An accident waiting to happen ready for another pile up

The gear box strains in overdrive and the pistons complain

Brake fluid seeps into the cockpit and floods the clutch

Hazards are blinking like a stroboscope and prism of pace

High octane acceleration on a road to immanent nowhere

          Satellite navigation in conflict with his auto pilot
	
          Cruise control on a highway to hell and beyond
	
          Ejector seat wedged into a half open sun roof
	
          Theodore calls 911 and the Thought Police arrive

Arsonists join the scene in fire engines stalled on the emergency lane

The ambulance doctor injects truth serum with dizzying speed

Body bags remain unopened but sanity is scraped off the road

Repackaged sealed in bubble wrap in case the airbag won’t open

          In hospital he wakes off his trolley on a tiny stretcher

          So convoluted they can’t find a straightjacket that fits

          Confined to another bedlam on the psychiatry ward

          And the dashboard flickers on the way to his lost mind
