one

this one
is coming
on, like a good trip
in, like a king tide
back, like a recurring dream.

i'm flying, but i'm not
because i am behind the wheel
of a motor car so
the feeling is the same.

i'm driving, it is an emergency
(it would have to be)
and the traffic is there 
but i am with them,
i am going with the flow.

the flying feeling never leaves me
as with disbelief and lucidity
i drive and survive,
straddle the lanes
to a destination that never happens.
