In harness

the place is no pressure, it
just is, the mind busy
thoughts jostle, push,
bully the body to do this
or that:  the constraint
of impression, of should, of
bringing hopes to the real
dreams to the table - it is the 
mind the instigator, the
whip, the driver of the team
relentless
down the road, whip
slash whip lash
whip, rumble, move,
faster, more able, harness
gleam
