as i rounded the bend
it came at my car
i heard a thud and snap
i was afraid it was an alien
or something undead
i've seen those movies
it could do worse than kill me
so i kept driving and thinking
it could have special powers
come through the engine
invade my body
plant its evil
but when i got home
i saw a poor dead bird
lodged in the grill
feathers, blood, bird things
that i don't want to think of
it was me who invaded it
i pulled out its life
i wonder if it was afraid
