four lane highway all directions
rush hour before night
a long days events, a lane apiece
pain at the base of the neck
stop light, red, PLEASE!!!!
kangaroos on speed, it seems
the silence of a thunderstorm calls to me
exit 53, outside the city
take a right and follow the hill
lightning strikes and calls again
speed dial 2, that's me
madness of the mad threatens to engulf
70 or 80 at least, then maybe, just maybe, peace
a chance worth taking, a coin worth flipping
life at half-speed only a gypsy dream
to a hazy mind full of balloons
slowly madness fades, haze recedes
trade the viper for a falcon
I slip away, unseen
