a deepblue turquoisetrimmed
dragonfly badgered him at a crosswalk midtown Whacha waitin for bitch
then googlyeyed furiously shook its head and
darted into traffic
it artfully eluded autos and pickupsrising above their roofsweaving
between them unmolested thrilled in their aerodynamic wakes blasts and wash
a bitch of a rollercoaster ride
crossing six lanes it airbrakedcurlicued
then cranked back around unheeded it shot back across traffic to spin
around and around my head before it hovered then perched on the hardbound lip
of the book I read held before my face
Yaseem
unimpressed Yawanna see something
cool
who doesnt want to see something
cool
I dont think I noddedacquiesced
as brisk or emphatic as its huge smile indicated
the dragonfly winked lasciviouslyYah I thought so
then he straitjacketed his
crystallinegreen wings clasped them against his slender plaited thorax
I couldnt help but admired its sleek
bodycouldnt help but recognise its keen similarity to a hardened .270calibre
bullet
the dragonfly sparkledbeamed then deploying its living wings it lifted into
the pale silverblue ether stuttering left and rightleft and right
Cat Yawatchin
I nodded not knowing what to
expect
the dragonfly thrust backwards helixed
gained altitude then hovered deliciously above the broad intersection suddenly it Stukadove among the moving and
stationary vehicles slammed through
radiatorssteam and coolant erupted penetrated engine blocks roiled then
shattered windshields momentarily startling DEADmotorists catching them between
the eyes blowing out the backs of their heads reminiscent of Kennedy the grassy knoll Dealey
Plaza
I didnt expect that
it returned
the intersection and thresholds
of the 4 Way streets leading into it were ravaged
it cleared its throat
Machiavellis
The Prince
Chapter
Three
Annihilation
Self-interest
self-protection pursued ruthlessly
A
prince notes men must either be pampered or annihilated They avenge light offencesthey cannot avenge
severe ones
Hence the
harm one does to a man must be such as to obviate any fear of revenge
Next time perhaps theyll slow
when they enter and pass through habitats that invite animals and insects
They seem without remorse when
they kill with their vehicles
You can suppose this is my wakeup call
I hadnt any words or argument
