Those cars are smashed
and those people are not
going where they thought
they were going. They are pushed back
from the plastic and the glass
and shaking. I am driving
this car carrying life. This car
is one seamless machine
with a steering wheel
humming over pavement
going where I am going.
I'm knowing I'm a winner.

Prayer 5 Miles After Seeing a Wreck
I'm a Hot Wheels Camaro
shot from the low growling Super charger
with just the thrust to blast me into the air
but not off the plastic track, so the orange edge
sweeps me around another lap.
I'm a winner.
