Accidental Wonder
The truck, an eighteen wheeler, barrel-assed
beyond the limits of an exit ramp
and through the legal curtain of its yield
sign with the presence of a spirit built
to break all technological enchantments
designed by engineers intent on style.
Inside the cabin of the SUV,
the occupant could only watch the air-
suspended cab, a Vision Sleeper Mack,
continue through the polarizing glass
to meet his old philosophies of life
with something quite exhilarating. Death
confronted him with freedom like he never
knew before. It took away his breath.

Thanks. Slightly so, but thankfully not fully.
