249. When the reason and the motive are not the same.

At Castlereagh

Drag-racing.

Despite liking speed,

No interest for me.

It’s drag-racing day.

Standing on the road,

Index finger pointing

Trying to hitch a ride …

To Castlereagh.

Ulterior motive:

Handsome girl with subtle smile

And interest in me

Works in the general store.

I pass by,

Shy & become

Drag-racing spectator.
