"cleaning chunks of flesh from wheel-wells.' Wow! This is a brutal poem , honest, raw, filled with imagery of senseless death. Very sad write, the woven thread........ insignificance of human life from the bland responce of the cop. I re-read this several times to get the full range of emotions. Very well written. Bill
