The runner and the driver

A shimmering car waves down the street
The driver has the world under his feet
Cool under the burning heat
He never waits, never has, never will
The driver pushed too hard
His car scratched the road
A tiny flame, a fatal flame
A car dies
A driver sits, helpless
His face scarred by the flames
A fatal flame, a tiny flame
Leaving him a dying man
The runner approaches
Tired but still running
Spotting the dying driver, she stops
For the first time in his life, he waits
In the dead of life he places his life in her hands
Like a child he slowly understands
What good is there in hurrying
Reaching the finish line all alone
Solitude
Loneliness is a curse;
The runner is a miracle
As a lonely car dies with a flame
She saves him, not even knowing his name
