Shameless hack on Patricia Smith

Cadillac

The impact was magnetic, metallic attraction.
Cold connection made from infrastructure and status symbols
On rails, railed roads spike with lights aligned together.
Or perhaps poles like deer, can be dumb motherfuckers.

The square glasses made another light their nose.
The steel crumpled,

Jagged,
Twisted,
Stabbing.

The pelvic bone bore the battering ram.
The knee crushes the dash,
The face hits the glass,
The ball breaks the socket [the airbag] it explodes
And the mind wanders.

The characters never change.
Jim Beam, The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit
And Doctor Jimenez, that cocky asshole.

The phone is answered before it rings and he already knows.
The curtain draws, the band plays and the crowd cheers.
As Zeus and Cronos, time stops.
He’s killed his father.
