Road Kill
by Chris Sorrenti
pigeon walking down the middle of the road
oblivious of the traffic whizzing by
headlights widen
too good to be true
grills stretching into a smile
sports car nicks off one of its wings
station wagon finishes the job
a few less windshields to wash
the automobile exacts ultimate revenge
