We burned rubber to accelerate and to slow depending on the road ahead, on the weather conditions and our need to find rest.
Sometimes we apply the brakes so we don't break, so come to a rate of steady onwards travel, neither fast nor slow.
Even an ambulance needs brakes, there are times we need to observe the difference between the red light and the green. So even though your instinct is to pump the gas, positive chaos needs time to stabilise the negative and make all due speed the right choice once more.
After the summit was met, once the sun free to meet them so much closer to the sky, the decent could only be made safe by the brakes, for it is imperative to care for the bystanders as all heroes do.
As the brakes were applied they gave heat to the air, glowing bright, bringing that train under control, keeping it safely on the tracks.
