freedom at 80mph

miles miles away
miles still to go
as the power lines sway
foot on the pedal
breeze on the shield
roaring ahead to eternity
post after post
holding all in place
or else the landscape around
would melt and escape
green blurs with a dark line
where road join life
on the highway side
curved turns
at 75
a few mins of powerlessness
the freedom to glide
a few mins of fear of no control
and back again
foot on the pedal raging on.
