 the inflated swell of vehicular rubber, 

with soft rectangular indentations, 
help captive in circular hollow of the tyre, 
traverses speedily along well binded metallic roads, 
crushing dried leaves, trampling unkempt wild weeds, 
fixed and stuck to metallic plates, 
with radiating spikes, midget spokes of steel, 
maneuvering sharply across barren concrete landscape, 
with deft strokes to the driving wheel, 
firm slanted pressure to the compressible gas pedal, 
and coherent articulate movement of the gear shift
machinery, 
the tyre treads race through wet mud roads, 
leaving behind trails of woven patterns, 
resembling dead sticks of unconsumed sugarcane, 
a sudden whirring noise encapsulates the atmosphere, 
as tonnes of dust blow, 
silencing the crux of exuberant activity, 
brakes wailing in cacophonic unison, 
tyre chunks bleeding against mass of hardened mud, 
creating asymmetrical rings of disdainful dust, 
the main culprit being, 
a cluster of metallic pins, in hot agony, 
strewn in savage random proportions, 
waiting to trap innocent preys of vehicular rubber, 
inserting themselves into thickened rubber flesh, 
squeezing out macro plumage of air mass, a
rendering the spongy sheath of solidified rubber, 
into distorted piles of mangled junk.
