Two tonnes of metal and plastic
hurtling over tar slot tracks
fear and loathing at high speed
human luggage on wheels
the maniacs surround

White knuckled wheel grip
as migraine pounds in sickening rhythm
to the left turn blinker
a soccermom in a ridiculously large
SUV has left on for over a mile now

(despite the ache that threatens to split skull emptying grey matter all over the dash)

Cursing wildly now
at the Camaro superstar
weaving dangerously in and out
of traffic, Andretti on uppers,
never once turning on his

Road Rage a glaring understatement
to daydreams of hood mounted
gattling gun and a small but
tasteful arsenal of nuclear missles
looming on the roof rack..

This was fun, it reminds me of driving in Massachusetts. Yes, definitely great images. Good one.
