Poem, Safety That Is Not, Cars


Laying Uncomfortable Eggs
June 27, 2025

with the rear gate up
my modern car
pings expensively

someone paid money
to make it do that
non-stop for miles

my reverse camera
when I’ve hung
something out back

sees clouds moving –

we’re all going to die
we’re all going to die –

a slightly different ping
jamming the brakes on
in vehicular self-Heimlich

ah, how I miss old steel
leaving wheel in my hand
with all other decisions
