Putting My Foot In It

I spotted this work of art
lying in the road.

I say 'work of art.'
I say 'lying.'

The 'work of art' is the road.
A main road.
So I'm not being sensible here.
I'm not thinking Green Cross Code
as I stand in/on it trying
to work out its hidden meaning.
(I suppose it must have one?).

'Why 129?'
I'm thinking as I look
up and see the truck
approaching.

Oh well, if I'm out of luck
and will soon be lying
in the road myself
(myself a mutilated
work of art?)
please let my last thought
be Beatles-related...
