Traffic

I feel the weight of the traffic bearing down on me as I stand on the curb


A mass exodus of howling bodies released by the greening of the light


Shrieking rubber, screaming tarmac, growling engines, the wild calls of the jungle


Before I can set foot on the cross walk a monstrous twelve wheeler takes the corner


Reeling around in a psychotic war dance of unholy heat and sweat


A chariot of hell returning home with its howling spoils of war


Soon the sea of steel has ebbed the hand of god is flashing orange


Only by the will of angels or evolution alone do I make it safely to the other side
