Nothing Against Pontiacs

For safety the world does lecture the nobility

of beings that make debit card purchases

and Facebook posts.  Say it with me: Safety

First.  Autistic in nature, thriving on predictability.

Excitement, titillation, experience.  These bunch

up as targets in the crosshairs of millennials, and

the meeting of the careless with the mindless

is sometimes announced with a distinct crunch.

Is the pace of your life so pushed beyond beckon

that now the lines in the Wal-Mart parking lot are

just too trivial to paint within?  Must your un-

avoidable self-importance hoard every millisecond?

A tired mother in a minivan creeps down the lane.

Striking cross-country, the blind Pontiac takes aim.
