Just Around The Curve

another oil spill
hidden in small print
in the daily news....

somewhere behind
the Wall Street report,
the political hoopla...

and an ad for viagra.

maybe prostate cancer,
or the big truck hurtling
over the line just around

the curve....

smokestacks puffing,
cars backed up for miles...
cell phones ablaze...

going nowhere!
