Worms on wet pavement
wound out from the mud
with grateful deep breaths
I let their smell invade my nostrils

Mem'ries fill my mind
joy grips my stomach
wringing and twisting
like a roller coaster's first death drop

Wonder breeds worry
like worms to wet pavement
more drive than a man
Now I'm auto-planing out of control
