Can a rodent achieve tragic grandeur? A skunk on Rt. 128 smashed into a small tuft of thought offered the incense of revenge to the hundreds and thousands squashing him into the pavement. Ahab, anyone? The skunk was reaching out past the grave to punish the bipeds that had curtailed his life so abruptly….Then again, he (or she) may have been a suicide….A suicide skunk. There’s a scary thought.
