Steely Mammoths

[mnaz]

Outside the Big Box,
mammoths roam the asphalt oceans.
Gluttonous gladiators trundle and graze.
Their skin bulges like steel hillocks;
their grilles are mad dinosaur teeth.
They are rugged, thirsty warriors
bred to conquer stoplight grids.

wow maybe them things'll be extinct one day

we can run our rigs on bio energy like stuff you grow in a field

farming will be profitable for a change imagine that --

the steel jungle is made of plastic

Thanks all. The proliferation of these beasts really dawned on me when I lived in Vegas for awhile (maybe they just stood out more against all of that beige stucco sprawl . . . What was that figure again? 18 barrels of oil per minute? Something like that? ... It boggles ...

But to place it in thought and in creation. Treasure for those of us who've read it. Thank you!
