Vibrationary Roadkill High Beam
"Vibrationary Roadkill High Beam "
You look at a screen,
it’s like you’re driving
you know, full speed,
there you are planted
firmly
behind the wheel,
the windscreen wipers
are swiping bugs and crap
off the page and there
for once in your life,
you focus
full beam on
driving down a dark road
praying the ghouls, like deer,
will wander out into the
middle of it all;
you just know,
without hesitation,
instead of hitting the breaks
you’ll bust the story
slick,
like a
hardened ice puckey
slides to hell,
deliverance slides
into slippery gear...
written into the scene
the f-team flounder
clustering into full view
like a dream,
you move
your best hand in
an upward motion
shifting towards 5th gear
you press
the exalerator
like some Revelator
foot to the floor
lights on
all the way up
up high beam
messages of the driven
what’s written
and it’s
so very
cool
in the shade,
you ride the bumps,
like hiccups
you eventually stop,
you alight, get out
and close
the door.
you stand
for what you’re worth,
you walk the walk
forward
talking the talk
to yourself,
you don’t
look back
you think,
you feel,
and then you say
to what’s gone before,
9. 9. 9.
9 to reversing
9 to rehearsing
9 to bugs on a screen
vibrationary roadkill high beam
you're all
4
je t’adore.
Revelations.
