Destroyer of worlds. Well, my own anyway.
Road Kill
Fury little wreckage along the road,
The small and irrelevant tragedies
Of the Great Highway and its industry;
Its striving purpose of forward motion,
Forever advancing the horizon’s
Promise with no regard for the fallen.
Some might afford them a moderate cringe
But most will either ignore them or gin;
The vanquished remind us each of our place
And the unyielding nature of traffic.
