Silver Wheels |
| High speed drift on a prairie road |
| Hot tires sing like a string being bowed |
| Sudden town rears up then explodes |
| Fragments resolve into white line code |
| Whirl on silver wheels |
| Black earth energy receptor fields |
| Undulate under a grey cloud shield |
| We outrun a river colour brick red mud |
| That cleaves apart hills soil rich as blood |
| Highway squeeze in construction steam |
| Stop caution hard hat yellow insect machines |
| Silver steel towers stalk rolling land |
| Toward distant stacks that shout «Feed on demand» |
| 100 miles later the sky has changed |
| Urban anticipation -- we get 4 lanes |
| Red orange furnace sphere notches down |
| Throws up silhouette skyline in brown |
| Sundogs flare on windshield glass |
| Sudden swoop skyward iron horse overpass |
| Pass a man walking like the man in the moon |
| Walking like his head’s full of irish fiddle tunes |
| The skin around every city looks the same |
| Miles of flat neon spelling well-known names |
| USED TRUCKS DIRTY DONUTS YOU YOU’RE THE ONE |
| Fat wheeled cars squeal into the sun |
| Radio speakers gargle top 40 trash |
| Muzak soundtrack to slow collapse |
| Planet engines pulsate in sidereal time |
| If you listen close you can hear the whine |
