Super Speed

I flew down a parking garage on a bamboo board with wheels

and I almost died

but I didn't

I safely made it to the bottom in one piece

that struggled to hold itself together

because it was shaking with adrenaline

coursing it's way through my veins so fast that it made my limbs vibrate

and my breathing heavy

tickling an inescapable smile onto my face

There can't be a high better than this,

I thought

Who needs drugs? I got my piece of wood and newly oiled ball-bearings

I'll never need anything ever again

and all of that

made me think

made me remember that

I'm called to jump off a cliff

without a parachute or bungee cord

with the certainty of losing my life

I don't know if I'll safely make it to the bottom

in one piece

but I know that if it's anything like bamboo and a parking garage

I'll never need anything ever again

So I'll jump off a cliff without a parachute or bungee cord

and lose my life

cuz somewhere in the mysterious fall

where I have no control whatsoever

I think I'll find it

I'll find life

I'll follow Tom Petty

and free fall out into nothing

and leave this world

to help usher in the next

I'll never need anything ever again
