Rain on windscreen, wipers intermittent
Striped ambulance like a zebra in flight
The further north I drive the more intense
The rainfall, here on the M6 at night
Try not to go above the speed limit
No matter what white van provocation
Defeat my own competitive spirit
Enjoy the slow lane’s soothing sensation
Lose sense of time and of situation
To music in the dark, as when student
Sat stoned in small room clinging to the kite
Of stereo guitar infiltration
And often surreal lyrical content
Stafford, Stoke, signposts reflecting headlights
