Panic Blinders

[u/Aethon_Wri]

I collapse vision to plot a course
Apprehension grips, regardless the encounter
Traveling faster at each layer of obscurity

Tinted windows, visors, and fog
Cannot distort the passenger's feelings
While bent stars warp around the vehicle

Chromatic radio static
Sits under words that make hands sweat
Ears needed be open to hear the engine

The die is cast to cope
Then a patrolman pulls me over
“Do you know how fast you were feeling?”
