howler

it screams in my ear

the pitch highest as i pass

the doppler effect we call that

fades into nothing behind me

i race in place
then release, into space
floated and bloated

plummet

the arc

i snap,
the rushing ground trades again for the star filled sky

i cough,
was it all a dream? was I ever real?

My velocity increases
the howl is deafening
my vision is blurred
there is nothing left but the sound

***

cold
and stopped

how did that happen?

i was just going so fast...

which life is a dream, and which is real?

I remember, this happened before.
That's why i left.
To search for truth.
My old boss.
Time to get my back-pay.
