Road Kill

Polyester lined cables overhead; Conditions are hazard red; Big-wheeled diesel rucks tires dead; All shredded, shredded all over the road on the side of the road; Side of the road Dead kites and shoe stringed Nikes hanging over the power lines; Bicycle bend wheel broken; Someone's tennis ball and football deflated, tattered and worn; Tattered and warned; Carousels of broken bricks and bottles; Empty milk and orange juice containers; And what have we to have gain by them... Why? is this stuff still on the streets and highways; Clean it up, clean it up... Glass bottles, dirty diapers, half empty full cups from the restaurants; Some bread smashed up plate, chicken bones; Garbage and trash sitting in the sun today; Radiant heat, sun melting plastic bags, sticking and stinking, everywhere; What does it really matter the possum and rat and raccoon Dance in the light of dismayed doom; Everything's well with them, them all of them here at the ROAD KILL
