Treacherous Conditions
by Deirdra Harris

Yield, pleads a sign, but
they speed past, ignoring limits. Intersections
are dangerous on this road--
traffic's hell and when
carelessness causes collisions--
oh, but
the thorny wrecks are beautiful
aren't they
before they're dragged apart.

Broken, they stare stunned at the realization
toll is steep.






 

Deirdra Harris has been described by others as a <a

href="http://www.hotwired.com/members/98/25/index0a.html">geek</a>, a <a

href="http://www.goth.net/~helen/gothlist.htm">goth</a>, and a <a

href="http://www.angelofdarkness.com/asgard.htm">goddess</a>. In less public

places, she's been called much better (and worse). She often wonders if

her largest

cat would sound like Isaac Hayes if he were capable of human speech. This

is her

second appearance in Grrowl.
