An Asteroid
By Jennifer Haynes

hurtling forward on a crash course
heading for destruction
losing pieces of itself along the way,
but they can not be picked up again.
flying down, unable to stop itself,
unable to alter its own course to survive
not thinking, just giving in to speed
and gravity, for it can not fight it.
and it will continue on, until,
finally, it crashes and burns.

3/98
