Topic: "It's bad enough to fail when we let go of what we believe, but it's worse when the ideas we've been living by
turn out to be wrong." - Richard Bach

"Switching Lanes"

The EMT rushed to the frantic scene with their sirens bleeding into their ears: driving nearly deaf
The rush hour traffic cleared - with vehicles veering to the left, and right of them, out of revering respect
The vehicle sped through the intersection jeering: unjarring to the driver whose is a 14 year Vet.
The Star of Life embroidery on his chest
A blue, six-pointed star, which features the rod of Asclepius with a spear on his vest
The smell of burning rubber fills the atmosphere,
as the EMT roll the window up on the searing stench
A Corvette in flames - the bright red color of paint scorches- appearing intense
Severely wrecked: the crowd is held back like a tear from the flesh
The EMS rush out of the Ambulance, all their gear is in check
Oxygen, Valve mask, Medical gloves, Sheers and a Stretcher
- they put the driver on, loading him into the rear -
The Corvette had pulled up to a red light next to a 911 Carerra,
he sneered and he revved
His engine, which roared with twin turbo Methanol fuel - domineering finesse
The wind pierced through the vents, and the hemi-powered engine engineered to flex,
Steered through the cheering of bets
The Veteran Medic tries to calm down the Medic who is a Volunteer on the set
The 911 Carerra handles the wheel debonairingly vexed
The Volunteer performs CPR on the Corvette driver who somehow persevered through this mess
The two race, in high gear - sirens blare as the ambulance interferes -
The Good wheel tire jets until the tread disappears on the cement...
The driver of the 911 Carerra leers over his shoulder -
and his eyes blear from the thresh of metal smearing his flesh
in the 10th of a second
The EMS checks for the Corvette drivers heart rate;
lodging a brace over his weary neck
His charred face
The Veteran Medic leans towards the injured man
who has beer on his breath
The driver murmurs merely' it isn't quite clear what he's said
He hands the EMS his cell phone
with a message
he was sincerely sent
"We're pregnant :)"
The careera is shredded
The Corvette escapes with a veering dent
The driver escapes with his life all because he slows down to type his dearest a text...
Faster
Faster
Faster
Until the thrill for speed overcomes your fear of your death
