From interstate 
to racetrack 
cars build up their speed 
racing past troopers 
who don't know 
which one to pull over

racing tumbleweeds
thundering
across mesas

under night skies...

A zooming car, a Speed King.
All day, all night.
All down the highway,
Racing with faces unknown
To prove what he’s got.

Kissing lips.
Sweaty Palms.
