Molt in Metal
Auto-idolatry and the carnage it brings
Screeching tires, black streaks on black tar
The shattering of glass and the exhilarating,
fear-inspiring sound of the crunch of metal-on-metal.
Blood and gasoline mix on asphalt
Gushed from tanks, from glass shards embedded in flesh
Fluids that fueled spilled onto a roadbed not designed
for rest,
Transverse blockage of traverse with travesty.
Transverse blockage of traverse with travesty.
A perfect second, a nano second prior,
the auto mobilized putting on airs
Floating on tired cushions of inflated rubber.
So blase
So bored.
empty-headed,
danger ignored.
Impudent invulnerability
is felt
Introversion's the usual
result
Imperious we become
Impervious as a
city skyline.
Blind deaf and dumb.
Blend a pinch of churlishness,
a dollop of nonchalance,
Tincture it with a drop of
malice: on auto pilot you become a
Hep feline.
The beauty and sleek aerodynamic lines of molded molten mass propelled through
the same mixture of gases we inspire, then expire 'til the day we do the same
speeding us through a blur of nature, the only reality plays immoveable
the hot top we coldly traverse, mileage measured by white lines perfectly spaced
Like sprockets on reels of film, our passage is measured, any cessation of movement
easily becomes fatal, too long exposed and you burn, baby, burn.
