silver wheels

high speed drift on a prairie road

hot tires sing like a string being bowed

sudden town rears up then explodes

fragments resolve into white line code

whirl on silver wheels

black earth energy receptor fields

undulate under a grey cloud shield

we outrun a river colour brick red mud

that cleaves apart hills soil rich as blood

highway squeeze in construction steam

stop caution hard hat yellow insect machines

silver steel towers stalk rolling land

toward distant stacks that shout feed on demand"
