from a to a

Mario Petrucci

finding the freeway
to myself i put my foot
down to my own motive
floorboards asking the rear
-view what to do
next

it said

brother
the faster you
eat me up the more you
leave behind – you’ll see
more of me slower so why not
pull over ’cause this road is going
backwards and your incessant
tyres are speeding up

the world
