Momentum
Almost motionless, we start
taking deep breaths, slowing our hearts
as visionaries we visualize perfection
lean forward into the wind...
in a single heartbeat pulse, begin
shoot for an ever rising tempo
like lightning... we strike
burning down track
maintaining intensity
as long as we are able
at an ever more
demanding pace
good thing it's not
life or death...
lucky for us
it's only a race
