Airbag by Radiohead

The overpasses.
Like rusted scythes.
Swinging above us
Like pendulums.
Chop chop chop.
Mechanized claws.

A supernova in a coffee cup.
A wormhole in a black button.
An endless highway
As straight as a sword
As clean as lava
Burning your eyes out if you look too far ahead.
Egg yoke on the steering wheel.

The track is compromised.
Invites contamination.
A locust in a garden salad.
A nosebleed that fills a purse.
Disease on the tip of a metal swab.

Our lungs ache as we disappear into the plastic.
