Late Night Travellers
At breakneck speed I hurl fast
Towards impending doom
Singing an after work tune
Excited to get home to nothing.
I pass a car swerving as I
Swear out a gentle concern
Ignoring what lies ahead as I
Pass it in an instant
A reminiscent color scheme
Wizzes by my driver’s side
Peering wearily into blackness
At those brilliant red eyes
Sinking into a relaxed state
Calming wonders in my mind
I turn up the happiness
That blocks out the outside.
Red eyes… closer than they
Dare to peer suddenly
Decide my fate at 100 mph
In a blurry limp hurry I collide...
Two souls meet in the blackness.
One, singing a tune to sound waves
The other, in a wireless haze..
Both excited to get home to nothing.
