Always wanting more
I can only think "faster"
It was dark on A1A
The engine beneath me
Vibrating and growling
Like a monster hungry for road
70 miles an hour
Right next to the sea
The bike shifts
And jerks
My dad in my ear
"I told you not to ride those ******* Harleys"

In the dark
The yellow headlight splits the road
70 miles an hour speeding by the sea
Curving roads
I rode as a boy
I could ride this road with my eyes closed
The snarl of the motor
The pull of the wind
On my hair
Snapping my white t-shirt around me like a ghost
Speeding through the black
70 miles per hour next to the sea
And I miss the warm of your arms around me
