They Figured

They figured
      well...
we have until
      the candle burns out.


The cigar burned
    as it sat
for not being touched.


Twin engines 
    roared
on the lonely highway


Single hearts
     beat
faster than 
     they should.


Kick me again
   maybe then
I'll feel as though
   I am really alive.


The cars floated into dismal space
    the hearts stopped beating
      the kicks landed, thump, thump.
