travels

no seat belts
only helmets
locking not the body
but the mind inside
to wander
thoughts of leaping off
to join the sky
cresting over the tallest asphalt peak
careening down curves
the landscape expresses itself
in deep shadows of greens
whispering
echoes through the roar of the wind
beckoning
to keep going
to abandon the helmet
releasing the culmination
of nineteen years
shamelessly into the world
