Blaring
Swerving
Screeching
Raging
Curving
Reckless speeding
Wild overtaking
Rushing to reach his mother
before she draws her last.
Or, rushing to reach his wife
to a safe delivery
Or, challenging the equally fast
hunk on bike.
Or, is it just
youth’s mad fling?


too much:
-Alcohol
-Testosterone
-Peer pressure
-Violence in movies
-Stress of urbanization

and the man in ditch
with his head smashed
is someone else
who drove carefully.
