I saw a box of styrofoam cups
split open on the freeway,
dropped and demolished by trucks.
Brake lights blossomed but no one
stopped.
The f l o a t i n g white shards
looked like seagulls
dipping and diving on an open
artery
and I crushed them with my car
into tinier and tinier bits that floated away into the sun
would one day
make it to my bloodstream.
where are you going?
