1971 Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri


Highway 99
Rush you, young devils
Make sport of your speed
You travel so fast you get nowhere
Come on you quick demons
Speed on down the hill
You race all the time risk your life

THIS IS A WARNING
DISGUISED AS A POEM
YOU ARRIVE AT YOUR DEATH
'FORE YOU LIVE
I TELL YOU I'VE TRIED IT
THERE'S NO RACE THAT''S WON
YOU TAKE ALL THE TIME
NONE YOU GIVE

Rush you, young devils
Press down on the gas
The cemetary's down the road
Come on you young demons
Roll on press your fate
Your end is in sight round the curve.
