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?)

Wild Ride - Magpie Tales #44

We start at the top -
One great push
And we’re off!
Gathering momentum
We sail through
A chaos of cold
With the rope
Twisted ‘round your frozen fingers
My feet push
One way then another
Steering together
Through crazy twists and turns
Over wild bumps and humps
Until the end when we fall apart
Breathless and laughing
---
Darling, let’s go again!
