Day 9: Slow Down

Decelerate
by Laurie Kolp

Her race car mind
speeds from one thought to another
‘round and ‘round the track it goes
imagining serendipitous what-ifs
dreading delusional catastrophes
spinning wheels of imagination
a racing conundrum
only to slow down
mile by mile
when her mind
settles;
peace
waves through
her mind
at the beach.
