motorcycle on the train tracks
under the baking sun
heat from the growling motor
making a haze of hot air
thudthudthud
the wheels turn and strike the tracks with
hypnotizing regularity
could almost believe this is a private carriage
sweaty sun-burned biker
roaring like a lion
in dead cow skin
for my safety
for my freedom
let the open road go on and on
