When you’ve decided to order an Uber Moto
as your form of transport home, you have no choice
but to get on. A stranger hands you a helmet
and gestures to the handlebars behind you, waiting
for you to find your balance. Before you know it,
you are indeed flying. The road stretches into darkness
as the driver weaves between cars, speeding up
at every opportunity. You can’t tell whether it is more
or less dangerous that it is the middle of the night
and so few people are on the road. The buildings
are rushing past, the traffic lights are rushing past,
the city is rushing past, and you are still
on a random man’s motorcycle. You laugh about the fact
that your Spanish and his English are equally bad.
You laugh about how horrified your mom would be
at this whole situation. He asks if he’s going too fast
and when you say no, he speeds up even more.
You fly all the way home, awaiting a hard stop.
