If
one day
you are told
this was an accident,
caused by your increasing crescendo
of scorn, my darling,
don’t
spill
precious ink
tracking why?
in (what your sort) calls poetry.
Poetry is simply
breaking through walls.

[Addendum for Friday Fictioneers:]
United World Chronicle, 6/5/2100: Missing Woman.
Christina Lightfoot left this note and photograph for her fiancé, Lord Ettlesworth. After multiple crashes, she successfully flew her automobile into outer space. The vehicle reportedly runs on a nuclear-powered, zero-gravity generator. The World Authorities Commission Force (WACF) is requesting information in return for zero lifetime taxes on sales, income, property, and travel.
For Rochelle's Friday Fictioneers (100 words or less; click frog for more)and Sammi's Weekend Writing Prompt, 37 words, "Crescendo."

Entertaining and enjoyable piece. I think Elon Musk is attempting to create automobiles that fly off into space. Sounds impractical – but what do I know?

Who knows? It’s hard to predict what cars will be like ten years from now! But outer space? It would come with a high price tag. Thanks for reading!
