Nicholas Stern… The Car Was Alarmed

Car Was Alarmed by Nicholas Stern

Car Was Alarmed by Nicholas Stern

the car was alarmed
armed and dangerous
a raging road runner
disabled now
by smart circuitry
but not before
deafening neighbors
who will be avenged
by howling dogs
who won’t be silenced
with the flick of a switch
 
life was simpler
I suppose
when all you had to do
was fall off your horse
and piss under a crescent moon
