Crash Sight

Chasing demons through

 rush hour traffic

outcast on the road of epiphany 

life support crashed

 the blinking lights

zooming 

high speed through stop signs

stalled

 on median's intersection

top down

 and people all stare

flip them the bird

 and blare the blues

take off for 

Hollywood and Vine

boulevard of dreams and denial

swerved 

down one way street

accelerating the opposite way

crash site

 a  haunting revelation

'objects in rear view mirror may appear larger'

for me, i donno how i get safe after every drive. i think we are not ourselves when we drive. most of the times we drive crazily although we dont like it when others do! there is a saying here..drive slowly to arrive fast..i believe in it although im not always following it..
very nicely penned as always..

[Frieda P]

Who are you then khalid? Thanks ;-)

This is exactly what happens everytime I drive into Los Angeles. Just be careful not to swerve into Echo Park or you will be sorry. Believe me, if you are chasing dreams in Hollywood, you are gonna get wrecked.
Love love love it, Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Ha, too late for that Courtney, I'm already wrecked! Thanks, thanks!

This made me think of downtown Chicago. Nobody cared about a damn thing...no courtesy....everybody's mortality hung upon a spool of fine thread.

[Frieda P]

Sounds like NYC, thanks...

[Muse]

I've heard...I guess that's why after living in Chicago for four years...I have zero desire to visit NYC!

[Frieda P]

Ahh but there's no place like it, I've heard the same of Chicago.
