"Adopted Throne"

by Jeph Johnson

 

 

In my trusting state fears rise

I speed onward
Perception is black
I run with the autos
while gazing at the warmth of distant hearths
In others homes
I try to gleam
I watch them race one by one,
sleek and gracefully tearing up my race track
I have all their concrete

Thrown onward,
I am the child never known
With the runway eyes

The city is my throne.
