Fast

You have seen
this before:

a dirty kind
of glamorous

night in L.A.,
a surging flag

and chromium
vibrations, cars

slashing night
into neon waves,

sudden zooms
into impossible

perspectives,
the intoxication

of nitrous oxide
in metal lungs,

scorched scent
of soft rubber.

You have seen
all of this before,

all its variations,
sequel after sequel,

and it enthralls you
every single time.
