2. | Red Barchetta |
My uncle has a country place that no-one \tknows about He says it used to be a farm, before the \tMotor Law Sundays I elude the 'Eyes', andhop the \tTurbine freight To far outside the Wire, where my white- \thaired uncle waits \tJump to the ground \tAs the Turbo slows to cross the borderline \tRun like the wind, \tAs excitement shivers up and down my spine \tDown in his barn \tMy uncle preserved for me, and old machine- \tFor fifty-odd years \tTo keep it as new has been his dearest dream I strip away the old debris that hides the \tshining car A brilliant red Barchetta, from a better, \tvanished time Fire up the willing engine, responding with \ta roar! Tires spitting gravel I commitmy weekly \tcrime... \tWind in my hair - \tShifting and drifting - \tMechanical music - \tAdrenalin surge - \tWell-weathered leather \tHot metal and oil \tThe scented country air \tSunlight on chrome \tThe blur of the landscape \tEvery nerve aware Suddenly ahead of me,across the \tmountainside A gleaming alloy air-car shoots toward me, \ttwo lanes wide I spin around with shrieking tires, to run the \tdeadly race Go screaming through the valley as another \tjoins the chase Drive like the wind Straining the limits of machine and man Laughing out loud With fear and hope, I've got a desperate plan At the one-lane bridge I leave the giants stranded At the riverside Race back tothe farm To dream with my uncle At the fireside... |
