The Race
November 21, 2014
Am I dreaming or is it real?
The smell of exhaust
The rumble of the engine
All mine, really?
My hands grow white with desire
My foot finds the gas pedal
A nice roar envelops the air
I drop the clutch
The tires screech
I hit the clutch, shifting to 2nd
I feel as if I’m free
I let go of the clutch again
The motor roars
Clutch in, 3rd gear
I look to my opponent
He’s long in my mirror
The finish is mine
