Poem – Fast Lane (By David Russell)

Fast Lane

Let’s get in the fast lane –

Rip off the doors and slice the breezes;

Let’s get in the fast lane –

Thread the highway through a needle.

 

We can loop the date-line

In a coral reef-knot;

Turn our jet-lag inside out,

Inverted, oblique, reversed.

 

Let’s fly an exploding plane,

Turn on our parachutes –

Chrysanthemums of fire

In the fast lane.
