you see the deer on the highway of course, we know this. you know that soft and gentle fucker deserved it. what you don't see is that you're a deer too. same lost look in the eyes. same skin stretched tight over the bone. what you don't see is that you aren't any different or better or stronger than the other deer for the way you stand on the shoulder and dare the cars to hit you. what you don't understand is that they already have. you are the roadkill. you have been from the start. you are the warning to the other deer what will befall him if he doesn't address this rot inside him. if he doesn't walk away and leave the road behind. you thought you left it behind. you were staring into the headlights the whole time. never moved a muscle. but you saved him, you did. took the hit he couldn't take. took it hard. and the image of you lying on the asphalt will stay burned into his big liquid eyes for the rest of his life. he'll never be the same. because he's seen your insides and knows they look just like his own. and you didn't deserve it. neither did the deer.
