Shadows across the window mean something
is moving. Look away from danger to see
it does no good. The barking dogs make fine
alarms, but sleeping cats are less annoying.
I'd rather be ringmaster for a circus
of fleas than be the lord of the flies. Better
to die in the driver's seat, and with no one
you love in the passenger seat beside you,
than to die at home watching Rusty Wallace.
Headlights lead and the steering wheel follows.
Don't press the gas pedal with your left foot
unless your right one is paralyzed or lost.
From darkness to fire's an amazing leap.
Put down the light and turn yourself in to sleep.
