new england dragway

life abides by two extremes,
always;
a seagull and a helpless infant.
the bird is overjoyed
the baby's always crying.

two tops spin on the same plane,
but different axis
time causes them to drift
what a tragedy.

my insides are boiling pitch,
my brain melts from the rising steam
my eyes no longer focus

coming home means seeing the drag all lit up;
metal boxes tear apart the pavement with their rubber mouths
the noise travels,
but so does the highway.
