The thought of stopping

Tired cars with tired drivers are slowly driving by me under 
a mint-coloured sky, and I can just hear the mileage gather 
below me on the freeway where all life is our life. Moaning. 
It's a jazzy rhythm of clanking machine-parts that grow and 
fade, fade and grow, never stopping but to start all over again. 
Sometimes. Occasionally a lost soul wanders the bicycle-path 
through snow the colour of a smokers lung and the asphalt, 
the asphalt seems to grow up from underneath, eating its way 
through the white cape of frozen air and water while it is silently 
lurching and lunging and biting after every living thing it 
cannot get to. The noise. The sound of weakening steps 
through sludge and machine-crud is like someone gnawing 
lustily on the soles of passers by wearing rubber and dead 
animals on their feet for the sake of protection. There is a bus 
going by, but there sure ain't nothing else out here. This is the 
place where people pass through. There is no point in staying. 
They never stop to think so why should I think about stopping
