reflection on driving

[seekyr]

i do like to drive
a bit faster than i should,
faster than the posted signs
say that i should, at least.
for me, it's about wanting
to get where i am going,
or at least to feel like
i am making progress
moving to where i am going.

i was driving to school
today and had to sit
behind a slow moving car
for way too long,
so when a car between
the slow car and me passed
said slow car, i passed too.
and we passing cars
sped up considerably.

later on, we all had
to stop for construction,
and who should show up
right behind me,
but the slow car?
and i got to thinking
that we both got
to that same place
eventually
at near-enough times.
so how much did my going
any faster really help?

but i like to feel
as though i am getting
to that somewhere.
the end results may have
been identical, but i liked
feeling the way that i was
as i was driving.
that seems more important.
