Dream
Spectral old man
Gaunt
Beside me
In a late sixties
Large sedan
North on route fifty-seven
Through mid-Ohio
Seventy-five miles an hour
No other cars
Of the accelerator he says
"Hit it like you live
Hard"
When WHOA!
A sign directly in front of us says
"LEFT"
But there's no control
In the steering wheel and
Foot still on the gas
We launch
Straight into the sign
No matter what
Go forward
Awaken
