Small Still Smile

.
No rattle remains,
Not even a twitching tail,
And that's how fast it can happen,
A road disrespectfully built,
Stretching across the only territory
   the innocent had ever known,
So suddenly and mercilessly
   taking its life in concert
      with a set of Michelins.
My sister believes they're all
   just 'seepin,' but
      we all know better,
           that small still smile
Is really all about knowing
   where they're going
      when the rubber hits
         ...any of us critters.
 

John 3:16-18
