Time to tame her
Sitting on the framer
Counting down the time
Waiting on the line
Twitchy Spidey sense
Body taught and tense
Everything is slo mo
Then GO, GO, GO,
Fire up the bottle
Haul back the throttle
Out of the gate
Looking down the straight
Expunge all your fears
Shift a couple of gears
See the line in your head
Through the needle we thread
Tip over and hold her
Feel it in the shoulder
The corner siren calling
Look on her: enthralling
Her desire to sate
Hot shoe takes the weight
Insatiable apex
Many shipwrecks
The sacrifice to accept?
Risk the gift is kept
Power out the slide
Retain ones pride
Line up and fire
Embolden heart’s desire
Thrill fills the till
There is no other pill
The insatiable corner’s calling
Everything else in life? Stalling
Go fast, turn left
The unquenchable quest
