go fast

climb in she says.
let's go for a ride.
but where to, i ask,
and she smiles, does
it matter. not really,
i tell her. not really.
but i buckle up just
the same and
brace myself, i see
that look in her eye,
and feel the engine
tremble as her foot
slides of the brake
and we accelerate
onto the moonlit
highway.
