I saw a red fox on the way to work today.

It was DEAD. It's life had Faded away.

 

It didn't look dead. All that was amiss, were it's BulGy eyes. The were pure WHITE. It had no pupils. . Nothing, just blank white globes, not staring at me. It looked just like a sleeping dog, lying quietly in the middle of the road.

 

Then along came a Big Red Bus. Along the road. It S   L    O     W      E        D down.

Just not enough.

People were waiting

bus stop.    further

UP the road

 

The Big Red Bus couldn't wait. It S     P    E   D up.

Just enough.

The red fox exploded. Like a tube of dull red paint squeezed from the wrong end.

I stared for a bit.       Then continued on my way to work. When I came back that night. The road was clean. No evidence of the red fox, or it's insides. All gone.
