look out the window
the world speeds by

kayakers in a river
trees in bloom
sky dark
with 10 am
clouds

everything moves faster
then your eyes
can keep
up


a whining baby in an SUV
toxic chemicals in a tanker truck
the suicidal everyman
slink comfortably
in the front seat
of a beige sedan

looking out the window
is all you can do
as the world speeds by you
and you only stand
still
