Where are they dashing to, all these people
in their speedy, speedy, speedy cars?
On highways, motorways and autobahns?

They are hastening through our world.
What would they have done before their time?
Going through our world de-accelerated?

Fields, villages, skies and clouds flying by.
Where is their pensive contemplation?
Lost on their speedy, speedy, speedy ways?

Ways to promising futures and desires,
to destinies desired – not yet fulfilled?
What is it pushing them full speed ahead?

What are they doing all the time
when steering, steering, sitting still?
Do some of them fall into thoughtfulness?

… … … and bump into a final car crash?
