driving in the middle lane

I'm driving 63 in the middle lane
in this lazy hot sun and you
should pass me;
I'm uninterested in your
mundane urgency and
ordinary thoughts

crushed feathery
creature on the road
how did you die so?
tire-tracks in oil, cut deep through
the bone and skull,
beautiful.

the sun beams its image on
this hot earth
and life above

two cars pass the
divider

a bmw and a honda

life is urgent and death is nearer

I don't think they quite understand

I'm just a Mexican driver
