Flash of obsession, continuous clicks
to capture celebrity icon inside tunnel
before breath of fresh air released caged
endangered species inside Mercedes Benz.
Rubber shrieks, skids across asphalt
into cement corners, cornered occupants
as lights blurred in blackness;
internal panic button pushed.
Limbs extended, writhed outside windows
with climatic click and compulsive flash
before metal met side walls.
Princess crown crushed within tin can
alongside fairytale companion
while foreign hands neglected to nurture wounds
but instead brought out artistic weapons
before their blank, stone cold faces;
vultures initiated a series of attacks.
Crimson outlined borders of black also white
with shoe prints in murdered memories
before brazen kamikazee paparazzi
snapped perfect shot with shells (fatal)
of princess in the arms of her prince.
