My life is one second

Current mood: thoughtful
Category: Life

I've been out exploring the world. Mad, fun, flirty and free. But that conservative streak of mine (contradictory nature) always keeps one foot on the base. I only need a toespace. So I took it. So that i can keep my balance. ~~fluid~~ No-one ever really knows where they stand with anyone in life. It's all about trust, perception and subjective values. I don't care for the complications and game playing - my preference is for simplicity, clarity, objectivity and honour. Life is too short, too fast and too complex already. This afternoon I was driving home on the M2, in the fast lane (where else?) , doing about 105kmph. Suddenly this sucked out mango car (a little shoebox Renault) flies past me in the Outside (RHS) bus lane doing at least 170/180 kmph or more. I think (split second) what a f*^%wit - he's (of course it's a guy) going to have an accident. And as my thought finishes I see an explosion on the bend and pieces of car and ladders and stuff bouncing around all over the road, as the Renault swipes a ute and a 4wd and slams into the inside lane concrete barrier. I drive untouched through the bouncing pieces of debris like some stunt in a hollywood car chase movie. Slowing down, in my rear view mirror I watch as all the peak hour traffic behind me grinds to a halt. People are running. There were two cars between me and the accident. Less than a second had lapsed from the time the Renault overtook me, until the time of the accident. My life is one second. And now I want to colour that second with passion. Andfly. A great yet simple love fuelled by intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual fusion is my dream.. And it will find me. Problem is that one toe.
