Thoroughbred

I am the thoroughbred at the gate

I cannot control or contain myself

Flesh and bone held together only by metal 

I am dieing quickly and I am dieng slowly 

My heart is racing

My eyes are wide

I am not able to hold this anticipation any longer

Jet fuel seeping out of every pore

I no longer am able to touch the earth 

Have I used my fuel before it was time

I do not know I cannot think

All I see is metal and raceway
