Death on our Roads

[R.C. KITCHENS]

For cyclists on our roads, the threat of death is all-too real:

people make it all the time.

I feel like "trip" is needed in here somewhere to add substance. People make what? a "trip"

Like how we ask for it without a helmet and
when the clown says how the surgeons call us “donors.”

I get what your saying in a whole, but, the endind seems to lose translation. I really dont get the clown reference unless a reference to the cops?

One 3am, this cop pursued me through three reds
on empty City streets I know like lanes:

I see "Once, at three a.m." as a better choice of wording. I also see the second qouted line going before and the first following it.

He said, this late, a drunk would run me down
if I got by with just my eyes and ears.

I believe there needs to be more here than just "if i get by with just my eyes and ears"

Another one, last midnight, shouted: “halt!”
as I tried nosing round a long, stopped truck
of steel bound for Molloch’s next erection.

I dont believe the imagery here with the truck and mollochs erection is really clear.

“A bit of common sense” he said
“...or you'll go under it.”
“Like that?” I snapped, “comply or die?”

I get mixed up with who is sating what, does the cop say comply or die?

Freud said, “Every fear contains a wish.”
And so the cabbie raging at my U-turn tighter
than his cab’s must win some prize for
being actualised:

I didnt get the ending. what is "tighten than"? referring to and then I reread it and realise what your talking about but it is confusing in the wording.

“I hope you die!"
