Shifting Gears

Had this exhilarating experience. One of those things that happen on a whim, with no forethought. I had been travelling( driving) between 40/60. Taking my good time, reflecting on the past weekend and how faint the memory of it was. Then a line from a song just flitted through my mind. 

I was about to connect to a major road. 

My mood shifted. I searched for and found the song on my phone.

Just ahead of me when I linked the road was a motorcycle. It wasn’t sure if it wanted to be in the middle or the side of the road. I hooted and it moved to the side. And then it was just me and a smooth tarred road.

Another car appeared ahead. I recognised it. We were headed in the same direction.  It’s years younger and sleeker than mine. 

I felt a rush. 

I gained on it. 

It took some seconds but I drew even and passed it.

I was flying.

Touch down.

The most fun part of the drive was disrespecting the curves on the road while manually shifting gears.
