Risk Taking Behavior

the sign advises

30 mph– I take

the curve at 60.

Driving through

the Big Sur night, creeping fog

swallows my light.

Driving Highway 1

Driving Highway 1 –

the sea sparkles and shines

between racing pines.

Driving Highway 1

Driving Highway 1
in the driving rain,
dodging falling rocks.

number 21, a river of stones...

Driving Highway 1

Driving Highway 1 -

sharp curves, the ocean below,

into drifting fog I go…

Walking along Highway 1

Walking along Highway 1

cars pass
one by one…

80 miles per hour

rolling along Highway 1
into the big sky…
