Need for Speed
by Vivek ShrinivasanI want to know
what it feels like
being pulled against
at 10G
Having a 650 BHP massive machine
at the disposal of my right foot
for which I have the key
to make it come alive.
An achiever for speed
It roars like a lion,
chases like a cheetah,
dangerous like the great white.
At the death of the moment
you shall remember
that I just whooshed by without a whisper
and let only dust remain.
That void engine sound
and throttling of the piston
of the mean machine
with the looks of a razor blade.
At the movement of my ankle
it screams to life just to kill.
It makes the environment
piss in its pants.
The last run for which
ready as I ll ever be
All I want to feel
is the need for speed.
