Road Kill

Just drive around
Don’t worry
Already hit the ground

Splattered, bloody mess
Totally ignored
Just had to forever guess

Just drive on by
Was not on your mind
Not a care in the world
Just totally undefined

An insignificant life
Taken that day
So quick and fast
You blew it away

Like the bottom of a shoe
Light as a feather
So very easy for you

Could have swerved
If you so dare
Trying to hit the curb

That tire did not bounce
A hit with no notice
Right where it counts
Blind and so bogus

So go ahead
Just drive on by
I'm already dead

Be careful while driving out there...

Road Kill = RTA? Road Traffic Accident?
Poignant message. Worse think I ever did was give this young lass on holiday in cuba, a book of my poems that some mug of a publisher published, one poem was about a drunken driver killing a family, the kid in Cuba was there with her family to help her get over exactly that. I wanted an earthquake to eat me up...

This can be taken to mean a lot more that might seem at first. It sure makes me think. Thank you, Staci. Love and best wishes,
