lay down the rails

[yogi_bc04]

I want to disappear
over the cornice
down into the folds
of her billowing white gown
gathering speed
hoping that at 35 mph
I don't fly out of the rut
I lose myself
in between the gates
red then blue then red again
arc it,
lay the edges over
push extend absorb
eyes watering from pure speed
reach with the inside hand
by gate 14 quads burn
by gate 27 shins burn
by gate 35 I'm lost again
wishing I didn't see the last gate
flying towards my tunnel vision
signifying time to come back to reality
off the top of the mountain
away from the titans
the satisfaction of pain
back to the land of problems
mortals and painkillers
hit the brakes
skid to a stop
wish I was back up at turn 2
flying down
with another 36 gates to go
where my best friend is my only friend
the fall line
