5th gear

Nothing new here..
(turns pockets out to show them empty.)
Not sure what you are looking for...
I've changed direction, gone a different route.
You can digress and review messages
that have past,
but you will not find me there.
I have gone on ahead, without
old passengers and hitch-hikers.
No longer idling my engine,
I've shifted gear, gaining
speed, moving  far from what was;
looking forward to what lies
over the horizon.
Pushed it  into 5th gear, smoothly flying
further away.
