Pedestrian Elegy
Who, if I cried warning, would hear me among the angelic
drivers? Even supposing one should suddenly take it to heart, I would perish under his vulcanized radials. For the green is nothing but the onset of terror, which we walk through calmly only until it thoughtlessly turns to destroy us. Every single intersection is terrible. June 2007
From the Daily Whale.
Parody of the opening of the
“Duino Elegies” by
Rilke.
