An American speed limit sign — 25 miles per hour.

Waking up
Another day older
But today it’s another year older
How did this trip around the sun
go so much faster this time?

Why is there never a speed limit sign
when you really need one?

I would be happy to pull over
to stop, even
should some cosmic cop
with a radar gun
tell me to slow down
but alas,
I think he’s telling the world…
