Ballast

I'm a passenger
stranded within this vehicle!
The world at the wheel
empty hollow sockets
guiding indistinct quests.

I'm a passenger
the road bends ahead,
faster
yet faster!
Blind ambition
faster
even faster!

Smashing through barriers
brakes forlornly shriek
people wantonly scream.

I'm a passenger
the corners retinue
awaits our fiery adieu
bending ever tighter
oblivion's smile beckons alluringly
faster
still faster!
