It was gone way before you got there, all that’s left are clues – and smells. That was the inspiration for this Typewriter Rodeo poem.
What Was That Roadkill?
the whiff you get
as you drive by is unmistakably
Texas
Texas on a hot day
Texas on a busy night
Texas gristle
Texas starry night
catastrophe
this whiff you get
as you drive by
was it rabbit
was it squirrel
was it deer
what in the world
could create this melange
this perfume of the damned
only Texas roads
speed limit
