Pinball

A Chapter by Kenneth The Poet

The one who could hold
back water plays pinball with
sardine traffic since
self-control behind the wheel
is division by zero.

Not exactly a wizard
like the band who sucks
at Cincinnati crowd control,
a live wire along
a curve for dead men.

Where I live at...we have a road called "dead man's curve", your poem made me think about this. Many died losing self-control on this road. Enigmatic are your words...but it created thought within me. Thank you for sharing.

'a live wire along
a curve for dead men.'
