Shock Wave

Something that's seemingly so unprofound, Like a distance divided by time, Is becoming a barrier that has me unbound, As I leave it trailing behind... Once I am able to get enough speed, Increasing and gaining momentum, The physics that own me cannot superceed, Or re-write the laws with intention... Breaking the crest the distance seems less, At a point that becomes my horizon, Traveling just to reach the egress, Of a spot I'm keeping my eyes on ... I slowly surpass what's ahead so its last, Leaving sound so I can announce it, But when you ask I'll already have passed, By the time it takes to pronouce it... Then slowly. I turn and notice the burn, Of a shockwave trying to match me, That's when I learn to stop and discern, What I say before it can catch me ...
