Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Allen Ginsberg
I saw the best hens of my generation destroyed by butchers, roasted, rotisserie-basted,
wandering across the street at dawn looking for a bawdy cock.
Elizabeth Bishop
The art of crossing isn’t hard to master–
when asphalt’s hot, it helps if you cross faster.
Gertrude Stein
The road
is a road
is a road
is a road
to cross
like a boss
and eat moss.
