Driving down the long curvy mountain roads. Music really loud, and Im singing along, Im in another world, could drive forever, never get out of the driver seat, never meet the rest of the world, speak to another person or speak at all, let alone singing with these songs. All morning, into the afternoon, and then night falls and I speed up even more, I go 150, and I am happy, I slow down and look at all the trees, I could drive the same roads over and over and over again for the rest of my life, alone in my car, never having to stop for gas, never having to signal a turn. A world deserted of people, everyone gone but me, just me, and the natural world. And the music, the songs, and all the musicians have been transported to another world, so I don’t have to know of their existence, just their music directly sent to me in my vehicle, so loud, SO LOUD, pounding in my ears. And I am alone.
Alone to think, alone to breathe, alone forever, an endless stretch of road. To never have to eat again or sleep again, just waste away and drive all day, until I am nothing but legs pushing pedals and arms turning wheels, and my eyes and mind constantly surveying. My heart raging constantly, fed by the past which is all that I would have to think about. Locked inside a car, just to drive forever. No walking, or sitting, or working, or reading, or typing, no future to think of……
And an endless amount of cigarettes to smoke, the smoke going out the window, kind of like the time. A lifetime of driving to regret all the time that I wasted not driving. Horizon always on my mind, my goal to be parked on the horizon, with no more horizon, that endless nothing of space, the edge of the world, I would drive until I found it, not even caring if I found it. I would think of all the people that I hate, I would think of all the stupid things in the world. I would think of all the good things, and remember that the only good thing is driving, driving and the music and my solitaire are the only comforts that I have the only good things in life. I would forget eventually about all the other people, or even that I am a person at all, I would become the vehicle, and it would just be me and the roads, the endless roads, could be driving in circles not caring, the MUSIC SO LOUD, and it drowns out my croaking voice until I have sung my voice away and all though I would still be singing there would be no vocal chords, no sound coming from me, but I would still sing, trying to outdo the music, trying to drown out my own thoughts, trying to forget my emotions, and succeeded eventually in forgetting language and words and their meanings, and feelings and what they are and what they do, just road, and me, and nothing, and music so loud I eventually become deaf and still hear it because by then the music is stuck inside of me. Hundreds of years without contact without seeing ANY other face, or stopping anyplace, and I find that edge, I see it coming, and I know there is nothing after it, and I know death would hit me if I went over that edge, and I know Im going fast, and I know I can go faster, so I push down, the gas pedals through the floor, and Im going so fast my face starts blowing off because of the pressure, hundreds of miles an hour toward that edge so that when I get there Im driving on nothing the road is even gone, and there is only music, just me and music, and then there is no me, just music.
