Short Life In The Fast Lane Poems

Life in the fast lane
No substance, just blurs... smudges-
Slow down, sniff a rose....

Slow down there my friend
How fast do we need to go
Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane ends up with you being the lead car,
in a slow moving funeral procession.

Stealing cars
Life on the fast lane
Behind the virtual world
High pitched sirens
Love for the criminals
Day by day rulers
American flag
Short circuit
Classic beard
Sweet Piano
Fight for the night
Cloudy sky
Sunshine
Looking up smiling
Is this America?...

LIFE IN THE FAST LANE


Mc Bogald’s with its crowded queues at the counter,

Instant joy,  strip of xmas bulbs in the window.

Girls with Santa hats and spray-on  glitter:

Rapid  happiness, bright lights, not a shadow. 

Fast food, but eat it quick,  for the savour will not last.

It has flavour which is fading  fast....

In Search of Gusto
Dr. James E. Martin

Life in the fast lane
Is what some desire.
To get all the gusto
Before they retire.

They each other inspire.
To go one beyond
Is what they desire.

Then one day they’re old
And no longer can acquire.
It’s off to the sunset
To quietly expire!...

Life in the fast lane
... is go, go, go,
Fleeting in vain ...
Take the one that's slow

100 miles per hour
Pedal to the metal,
One foot has the power
To let that needle settle

Time goes by fast
It goes fast enough, 
Speeding right passed
All the good stuff

Rush, rush, rush 
There is time to lose,
With stop signs lush
They're there to use

Take a break ...
With life, superb,
For your own sake
Pull over to the curb....
