January 1979

 

When I speed down closed roads

I’m confined to the tight lanes.

The sky’s dirty cloud-carpet sinks down.

The car behind is moving faster

Than the one in front of me.

I swerve around a lost tire,

See an opening and blast out.

I burst out with Germanic force.

Blasting harder than busting through brick walls.

I’m finally free in flight on black lanes.

 

When I speed over your clothed skin

I’m confined by the tight lace.

The night’s air steams fancily around.

The clothes on me are moving off

Faster than the ones in front.

I swerve around a lost shoe, and

I see your skin-light, as I grab your controls.

I’ve busted out; I’m flying high, over

Apocryphal fields of mild white honey.

We’re in free float as we blast off,

As we synchronize our thrust on white linen to

Movements strong enough to shatter brick walls.
