April 23rd - Being Older Than James Dean

Jack of Spades - Being Older Than James Dean
20 - Writer's Choice - Free Verse

Riding with James Dean

We both toss our hair
Fearlessly flying
Smiling back at
Some girl or boy
Instantly forgotten

Our engines screaming
To combustion
With passion for
Our parallel worlds
Separated by hours and eras
Places and people
But the same road
The same speed
Too fast for time
Which folds on itself

We see each other in our mirrors
And at twenty-four and twenty-four
We both look back

He crashes
And somehow
I keep moving
Slower and
Slower still
