drive on overdrive

dive on hyper-drive, overdrive
burning the fuel that floods the engine
the oxidase fumes of the burning oils
the molecules that clog the diaphragm
the outlet inlet supply demand valves
the corroding scent of diesels
the cells that turn chemical to motion
the shock absorbers that keep it all smooth
what are the weather conditions?
how much fuel will we burn?
what when how do we ignite the spark plugs?
how much fuel for the miles?
how long before you engine burn out?
how long before the oxidized motor oil
corrodes the engine permanently?
for how long can rust inhibitors work?
there's only one engine ...
