Here is a contribution from another guest splatter, this time it is sass from my whorl. She is quite a prolific poet and often publishes her writing on her blog. Go check it out!
life goes on...the trash truck does it's rounds,
tow trucks wait
on the edge of the highway -
lions at a watering hole.
motorists carve curious trails,
carom precariously,
swim drunken laps through a sea of
careless cars.
today's headlines line the lampposts
like so many doomsday prophets.
there's so much truth,
so many lies.
i retreat behind the bars
of my eyes...
