Life is fleeting
With the chaos and turmoil the world brings us
One stray truck ramming into me wouldn’t be much of a surprise

If only I hadn’t procrastinated it for 3 weeks
Technology advances to a new stage every decade
If only we had made something for this

The sun beating down on me
Very tall grass coming up
Listening to music because it’s a menial task

Vrrrrrrrrr
Vrrrrrrrrr
Crunch
Vrrrrrrrrr
Vrrrrrrrrr

I look to my right to see if I missed any patches
Blood
So much blood

The carcass lays there
Smack dab in the center of my vision
Still twitching from internal shock

The life I stole from the creature sits in my mind
Like Sisyphus and his boulder
I try to push the thought up and over the hill
But it keeps crashing back down
Pushing me to the bottom

Forced to keep going because I didn’t finish my task yet
Eyes darting to where the animal once was
Ants lifting it away to feed their tribe

Life is fleeting
Sharp blades spinning to eat anything in their path
It should have been me
