never mind m c squared equals energy

[stilltrucking]

something spooky about trucks
all that mass on wheels
such a brute inanimate crushing weight
and then to have the wind pick it up and throw it like a ping pong ball.



such mundane metaphors for death
gravity and steel
flesh and blood
jack knifed trucks
and the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

I am so isolated from the weather these days,
I get so blase about it
forgetting when it was a metaphor for life and death
