Today –-
I think I’ll go
play in traffic
like I used to when I
was a kid

...just for old time’s sake.

I wonder
without my
wide eyes
bushy tail
and dimples
will the headlights
even bother to swerve
this time?

the underside of
a ******* prius
being the last thing
I’ll ever see

at least it gets better mileage
than I ever did

my guts
spilled out across
boiling asphalt

they belong there
they were wasted
inside me

someone should waste me too
