\nyou put your foot down and we flew, the screen
\nand mirrors all enveloping, sucking and flapping
\nthe horizons in its corners, and then just for a few
\nminutes we were the vanishing point as desert stretched
\nand bended and we were weirdly still in the centre,
\nthe constant motion and suspense, the sheer possibility
\nof it all in a perfect cycle, our wheels spinning still<\/p>\n
