for James Griffith
In the snow
In the crosswalk
Jefferson Davis Highway, and Backlick Road
At Accotink village, by the Eleanor Kennedy shelter
The flailing rush hour
Thousands cursing, six lane parking lot
Spinning uphill, sliding downhill
Gunning through intersection
The metal cracks
Crumpled fender, windshield starburst
Hair and bone rent
Life oozing in the gravel
The light changes
Another sacrifice to the god, Hermes
