Les Cornelius Poet I do not know?

This Thousand Car Pile Up

i’m dizzy 
with the flashing
of red break lights
through my eyelids.
i sit
      in a car crash.

screaming tires
with shattered-glass glitter
exploding through air,
provide the holiday f i r e w o r k s
for audience amusement.

car after car
                   slam into
the aluminum foil sides
          (easily bending)

my breathing room’s gone.
through my car-exhaust sleep 
                  (“just go to bed”)
i dream of the jaws of life
     prying me from 
this thousand car pile up.
under the burning rubble
                                     i’m waiting
for something.
