Vaporized
five pounds
enough to settle into every lung
of every human
struggling along
the crust
of this unknowing planet
He had to take this job
He'd blankly tell himself
Rolling through the Georgia night
watching the stars glowing
above the shadowy tracks
the chickens stinking in Lafayette
the wheat fields blown back
by his chugging monster engine
through Nebraska
the sagebrush shuddering in Utah
and
Colorado
bound for Nevada
Something echoed against the side
of his deadly caravan
As he entered the tunnel
His legs quivered
His mind spasmed
too fast
AN EXPLOSION REVERBERATED
