9703. VERY SUBTLE IS NOT VERY SUPPLE

VERY SUBTLE IS 
NOT VERY SUPPLE
And yet the truth is bent like a broken
leg around a pole; an athlete's very own
amputation, the scarring death of an auto
at speed into an abutment. I can only shake
this bendable head. The neck, however, does
the work. If anyone had ever told me I'd be 
the main driver of my own tanker to Hades, 
I'd have laughed it off but good.
