tanka found on freeway

 

The green light flashes

And the laughing passenger

Shouting from sleek glass

Has gas no match for my ass!

The car causes a mass-crash!

Haha you don't have to, cuz it never happened; however, on karma, with the way words tend to manipulate reality, now I suspect might.

An onroad pile up is only

An onroad pile up is only ever spectacular to experience in a cinematic milieu. It is quite a different story as a real time participant! I've been in both and now experience it in poetry. Shall we call this a full circle on this topic?


here is poetry that doesn't always conform

galateus, arkayye, arqios,arquious, crypticbard, excalibard, wordweaver
