First Gear... Second Gear... High Gear!

Walking behind someone, I relax into first gear, cruising along behind them.

The space beside them opens as I kick it into second gear, breezing past the slow nature of the world.

A bicycle passes by, easily surpassing me and my anger forces me to raise it into third gear, quickly passing anybody ahead.

Then, the car comes. Zooming from behind me until it is out of sight. Anger exploding out, I jump into high gear, rushing into max speed rushing past anything that lies ahead. Heading to the finish, there is nothing ahead of me, because I am at the top.

I may be sitting in first gear now but watch out, the speeds going to increase, because the accelerator is getting pushed down.
