The Drive

Ahead it hums and it glows 
An arm stretching and streaking and bending 

Mattering only to itself where it is going 
Fending off the sky and the dirty water. 

Behind it waves to me through the blurred past 
An old foe it remembers with determination 

A serpent in wait slithers away beyond the mirror 
Wait for I will be back this way old friend.
