Gawkers

Ravenous, they come
gnawing with desire:
the road-kill photographer,
the carrion scavenger.
They draw close, observe
a still life of running shoe,
the battered knockoff purse,
a sandwich half-chewed,
a flayed best seller
and scattered paper,

college-ruled.

The gestalt exhibition
is a décollage
air-brushed in hemoglobin,
arrayed upon asphalt
as another roadside attraction.

Center stage: a leaden grotesquerie
fashioned in heavy metal,
shattered glass and burnt rubber;
a botched Titan's accordion
cordoned off in yellow

as if tragedy were a crime.

The strewn victims
seem incidental
to this prying pack
as they sink low on all fours
to drain the scene lifeless.
