278th Post

Another night.

Cruising along a darkened highway.

The smell of burning tires.
As they squeal to grip the corners.

A blur shadow.
Which the ordinary person.
Would dismiss as a figment of imagination.

My head grows dizzy with more and more questions.
With less and less answers.

Just like the drive.
With no destination.

But to just drive and drive.
Until i have no more fuel left in the car.

Often i wonder in amazement.
How the mortal curiosity can grow so rapidly.

And here i am.
Finding it out for myself.
Both to my joy and despair.

Often i wish.
I can take the despair out of the joy.

But as usual.
Where there is a plus.
The minus is always lurking nearby.

Waiting to destroy the plus.

As the traffic lights turn green.

The engine purrs to life.
As i shift the car into gear.

And with a smile to the driver.
My car screams off into the night.

Lost in a world of mental thoughts.

In a vain effort to find answers.
In a vain effort to escape from reality.

And into the perfect dream world.
