The countless pictures I've watched come alive
motivates me to run after speeding cars
on a highway going zero to a hundred
while the bicycles come and land on my lap.

Like finding a ghost in the fog
chasing machines is a dart to the future
yet everyone's done it
so why not I?

It's during these instances that I want to
pound every key my fingers depress on
and break my thumbs via every bar I find.

*I've tried to break the sound barrier
chase after the speed of light
invented the nuclear bomb
but have not any left for flight.

Cut the paper, burn the trees
Live life normally
Why do you deviate
when everything dies around me
