carcrashes

    carcasses

  cadavers

    carrion 

               like a battlefield massacre on the turnpike  

                                                                          Should have taken a plane

lightly salted cashews

an unremarkable Bloody Mary

an unappealing cellophanewrapped sandwich tray

the going-to-be shrew sitting beside him who was at her laptopon her cellphone like she was one of the last remaining people on earth 

                  he didnt wanna hear about her birth control though he was happy she might not breed he didnt wanna hear about her failed romances her sex toys who her yoga or pilates teachers were the best vegan restaurants in LA SanFran Houston Atlanta 

                            concluding her foray No  foray wasnt too strong  he resurfaced to take a breath of the canned recirculated air she played the movie showing in the headrest before her too loud  it bled out of her earphones

on second thought

                     the carcrashes carcasses cadavers carrion on the highway were preferable

he wouldnt have to resist the temptation to commit murder
