Entombed in chrome, steel, and speed,  
Humanity slays the night  
With headlights,  
Banshee engines screaming  
V8 defiance,  
High-octane ghosts in the exhausts  
Bellowing spectral smoke,  
A motorized mausoleum  
Driving away from nature  
And slipping into darkness  
In the midnight heart  
Of a graveyard city.
