It's ridiculous
How one can slam on the brakes
And leave the world flying past
No one
Stops and stares
At the ones on the ground
When they're in such a hurry
To get nowhere
Sputtering
In and out of this time zone
With little recollection
Of what happened
In the previous
Second
Minute
Hour
Everyone
Yearning for the next
Green light
Mile marker
Exit
In which the fastest ones
Realize they've gotten nowhere
Way too fast
