Turning Off Autopilot

    Image by digitaltrends.com

Driving too fast -
top down, 
wind through my hair
sometimes I need to go so
fast
everything
in the periphery
is a blur

A little danger
around the corner
keeps things interesting,
keeps me awake,
alive -
not just
going through
the motions

I won’t be on
autopilot at 110
instead of
55

This 55 is for G-man and his FF55.
(Yes, I know, in the picture I'm not moving at all...but isn't this vehicle a great choice to go too fast in?)

  1. I can feel the wind in my hair(and the blood rushing to my ears, pounding in terror, cuz the speed, it scares the bejayzus out of me) I love the sense of freedom and possibility in this Mary, and that's a very cool set of wheels indeed in the pic.

    1. Everyone needs a little excitement now and then, right? (And just for the record, not actually my wheels...but I do covet them).

  2. You are married to James Bond?
    I didn't know that they even HAD Aston Martins in Dairyland...
    But of course you'd look terrific sitting in a Yugo!
    Loved your Highway Star 55
    Thanks for playing Mary Bach, now my week is complete.
    Have a Kick Ass Week-End...G

    1. If I told you he'd have to kill you, lol. Just kidding. The car belongs to my cousin who is a total car freak. And I never drove it 110 mph, I'm lucky he let me sit in it. :o)

  3. Perfect speed mobile you have there, Mary! Yes, sometimes life needs spicing up (and I would never ever admit I like to speed at times) :)

  6. Nice car and a fun poem. Tip: don't take pics while driving. I get yelled at for that.
