Meditations On Roadkill
Possum in headlights.
I'm lining up my tires and...
Pow! A direct hit!
April thunderstorm
brings out the little froggies
to get squashed by cars.
As I mow the ditch,
blades clog momentarily…
then feathers blow out.
Little spring swallow
slams right into my windshield–
sliding down slowly.
I wasn't looking
when I backed down the driveway.
Now my cat is flat.
Chihuahua yapping–
and then a thud from the road.
Silence is golden!
Around and around
goes the frog on the bus tire–
less of it each time.
Stupid chipmunk, why
did you wait so long to run?
That truck got you good.
