5 Cars Merge Then Vanish

5 Cars Merge Then Vanish

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

The trouble with cars

"


5 cars of the vehicular kind merged then vanished

Drove instantly inside one another to disappear

Solid lead rained down on them as well

Melted, evaporated, the evidence presented clear

Another clue, according to the view

Proved to be conclusive to that end


Detectives drew a line with good intentions well defined

Using chalk thought to be made of calcium carbonate

Found on some rock site undisclosed, remote

A soft, white, porous, sedimentary item found in nature

Formed from strange marine life at an undersea location

Eons ago at night as if it mattered to any one


This is pure speculation, a supposition of course

A hypothesis thought to be weak at best

Yet accepted in legal circles as concrete 

Science crossed their hearts and hoped to die

If their findings were a lie 

Around that which they oddly called a crime


Teachers line up calculators on the vacant scene

Loaded with batteries, black boards and cameras

Chalk comes in handy for drawing cartoon cars

Students! Love your teachers for that reason 

As you love being graded on a curve


Data confirmed there were 5 cars in motion

On the lot and at that location

Students in attendance testified cross-eyed

Well informed according to their word

Vehicular occurrences are rare but happen


It is reasonable to assume the sound of chalk was heard

Screeching marks along the boundaries of a curb 

Within the boarders of conclusions reached where lines are drawn

On the ground remained an empty place

An echo, nothing more

Vacancy kept in its place


Over zealous detectives state the facts as found

Cars don't travel just to disappear

Covered in lead melted down to vanish

Parameters of sight are well within speed limits            

In broad daylight it is easy to see clear logic 

Unless the FBI become involved

Roll in like fog

Problem discovered, problem solved
