Covid-19 is not the only way to go…


Covid-19 is not the only way to go…


by Rosemary Clarke

The rush of the wind in your hair as you push the speedometer up
to the great '70s then 80s then 90s and on and on the freedom of it all,
flying faster and faster; how fast can you go beating speed, racing time,
empty road all of them cowering indoors, THIS IS YOUR TIME! 
Faster and faster no rules just speed, speed on and on. No limits...
Why stopped?  Where are you?  Who are they?  Wow! 

 Such brightness orange and yellow and black and there's a car on its' side...not yours...
this is red and who's that?

The police found your twisted body bleeding into your precious machine.

You can die of more than Covid-19.

  2. Another thought provoking piece which I would call poetry.
    However, whatever category it is very good .
    Well done again Rosemary.
