Fiction's about what it is to be a human being. – David Foster Wallace

Vaya Con Dios

I squished a caterpillar
in the middle of the road
yesterday. It was slinking
along, tending to itself,

an inch away from the lines
in the middle of the road.
An inch away from freedom.
I saw it too late to stop.
