One quick thought

Today, while I was driving through a school district, there was an electronic sign that was posted next to the regular speed limit sign. The electronic sign told me of the fluctuations in my speed as I was passing through. Somewhere, an invisible sensor was monitoring my speed and making me aware of the relationship between my actual speed of travel with the regulated limit. Just one small moment of surveillance and control, limit and legalization. Inside my car, I was following the GPS directions to my destination. Colliding, intersecting signals, mixed with the music from my radio, which was transporting me back in mental time to an experience when I was 15.
