Here in Chicago, some politically-correct focus group has decided that speed bumps must now and forever-more be called speed humps...quite possibly because "bump" is too offensive a word--quite possibly because the first consonant sound is "too hard" or something like that. Everyone calls them speed bumps anyway...and thankfully life itself (with speed bumps) isn't subject to politically-correct focus groups that really get into the whole "touchy feely" thing. This has nothing to do with what you just wrote, but that's what popped to mind after I read (and enjoyed!) your words. I like the rhythm and cadence, and for some reason, I get the feeling that you wrote from the slight perspective of encountering speed bumps (humps?) on a bicycle. I think it's the cadence of your words; they're a bit more casual and not so rushed, so it's definitely not really an automotive thing for me. At any rate, bumps or humps, bikes or cars aside, this is great! I love the image too. And for some reason (as well) my mind went into "Onion-world" mode and I saw this image as a representation of "the Middle Road." That's pretty cool!

it use to be I'd try to fly over the speed bumps in my life, but now I just sorta creep over them, listening carefully to what is happening

Now days I'm pretty much off the road. When I do venture out I am reminded of the words of an old RC Cola commercial, "It's knowing where to take the turns and not how fast you go." A wonderful poem, your words speak truth. The image works very well.
