the sound of mail arriving
deep within the throat
a rumble, building pressure
breaks free with a WOOF

drilling for bugs
morning peace broken
by insistent hammering,
woodpecker's breakfast.

how not to look nervous
a loud squeaking noise
while rumbling down the runway,
eyes stare at nothing.

swirl in popcorn air

with the morning sun
like a frustrated rooster
the alarm clock squawks

a red blur ricocheting,

the pistol is raised,
10,000 bodies grow still,
--bang! the race begins.

buzzing like insects,

their own private paths.

car bounces and thumps,
expansion joints simulate
a horse's gallop.
