Phaethon
The road hugs the coastline.
The car veers close to the edge.
Yet in his youthful exuberance,
He's impervious to the danger
signs.
Blasting music,
A steady punk beat,
He sings at the top of his lungs,
Unaware of the curve ahead.
Screeeeech!
Crash!
The guardrail gives way
and the car goes careening
off the cliff.
His final thought a realization:
He's not,
In fact,
Invincible.
