You wonder why I never say anything
Just raise dust as if it were dreams
And burn miles in moments
Speed incarnate
Lapped Flash in a race round the equator
I am lightning
I am fire
I am the petal through the floor
Till your feet kick up sparks
And I wish he would stop trying to swallow me
Cause I know Coyotes and Roadrunners
Don’t make the best lovers
But for some reason I dream
Of running my beak through his fur
And sometimes when he sleeps
I stand over him like a mother
I don’t care what you think
We are both madmen
Both immortal both sadists
And sometimes I let him get so close
I can smell the lust in his breath
But I am bird and I am speed
And I won’t ever let him catch me
And I don’t dare say a word
Just beep as if it could translate into beauty
And burn the dust of a thousand roads
