Faster Than Reality
A don’t care, nonchalant personality,
Ingesting the wrong amount constantly
Am I crazy to question my own sanity?
Moving so fast not even reality could catch me;
Just a blur of gleaming lights speeding by
Unrecognizable to the human eye.
I’ve developed a tendency for speed,
Proceeding to ignore the words that heed
Gaining momentum, the exhaust roars
Cutting corners closer and closer; the rain pours.
Falling like crystals shattered across the windshield
Frozen, the night leaves my skin peeled
The past seemed so distant in this instant;
Abstracted and absent.
Perhaps I’ll move quickly enough to catch a glimpse of heaven,
I’ll ask god why the golden gates continue to deafen.
