I Am Behind the Wheel
I am behind the wheel
things move quickly by
I feel like I ‘m being pulled along
by the machine
new gauges
just keep coming
and going around
the faster I go
the greater the outside winds
the greater the noise
garbage flies speedily by
in all directions
some of it hits me
and sticks
the outside noises are great
they confuse me
they cloud the music
and the surroundings
and overcome
communications
and relations
I must
keep the windows closed
to keep out the outside noise
I must try to take control
of the machine
slow down speed up
right turn left turn
never never stop
I am told
that I must keep going
fast
somewhere
to succeed
hands on the wheel
foot on the throttle
never never look back
I ‘m afraid
to stop
how will I get
where I’m going
once I no where
how will I find it
how will I know
