#nightdriving
There's something I really like
about driving at night.
There is a certain peacefulness
in the sound the tires on my Honda make
as they rub against the highway
at a steady 9 over the limit,
no traffic to hold me back.
I keep my windows partly cracked
even though my heat is on
because it's the only way I can be
warm but not too hot and
cool but not too cold.
I turn my music up as
loud as it can possibly go,
my mind swimming in the
lyrical metaphors
comparing love to water bodies
and getting lost in the waves.
I ripple down the road
as I drive past the river,
the stars twinkling across the
vast expanse of black.
Sometimes I have a destination in mind,
and other times I don't.
Sometimes I drive because I'm sad
and other times because I'm angry,
regardless I am sometimes crying, screaming,
and or heavily breathing.
I am always pondering,
I am always processing,
I am always gaining perspective,
and, by the end,
I am always at peace,
at least until that time I need to
take another twilight drive down by the Ohio.

Energy rushing
Adrenaline humming
Sweat dripping
No one on the street
Hear that beat
Pump that pedal
Feel that beat
Air rushing
Engine humming
Rain dripping
Alive is the night
The music
Throbbing/thrumming
So loud
Brazen beat
Boiling blood
Feverish
Alive is the night
As am I
