King's Highway'
 
horse powered
 crowded pathways
turned into black top
 freeway turns to jungles
crowded interstates
 moving parking lots
coaches and chariots
 
80 Miles Per Hour
 
horse powered
 coach to buggy
fender to fender
 darting in and out
mustangs and chargers
 move into the fright lane
it's a suicide run
 
horse powered
 angry crossroads
hot and melted asphalt
 incinerated highway
yield to speed
 with a strong propensity
for power of the road
 
call it 'King's Highway'

Frightening "power", I imagine steel and asphalt, not really a place for human beings... Effective descriptions.

!!! think you need to come across and have a taste of our M25 London Orbital, Dale! But I love that this takes me back to my recent roadtrip in your(ish!) neck of the woods... Your highways were bliss as far as I'm concerned... the worst bit was trying to negotiate your cities without sufficient road signs... I like your interweaving of ancient and modern imagery to convey such contrasting yet merging traffic scenes. Perhaps King's Highway is an American use of irony... He be the only one who don't have cause to use it!! Arf-arf!! :)) xx

SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD PRAYER TO THE 'KING' SHOULD BE MADE BEFORE ROLLING ON IT AND A PRAYER OF THANKS...WHEN YOU SAFELY LEAVE IT. GOOD WRITE WITH TERRIFIC IMAGERY. THANKS FOR SHARING AND GOD BLESS.

I hate the highway but I love the competition of the race.
