Ride With the Freak

The highway 
Is a giant snake before me
As if a shimmering mirage
Within a distant dream

The wind
Feels like the hand of an angel
Softly tugging at my long
Raven silver mane

The world
Is a Chinese tapestry
Of a brilliant blue ocean 
And snowcapped majestic mountains

The ride
Divides the awesome array
With engines deafening 
Creating a silent passage

The curves
Providing stimulation
Like those of a wanting woman
Racing the hungry heart

The walker
Experiences a flash
Of red chromed black leather
And a receding roar
