A Haiku: On My Car's Ominous Etymology

"Stratus: adjective."
(Is a definition fate?)
"Strewn about, scattered."

UPDATE: A quick clarification! THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN. I haven't been in a car accident. This is a picture of a wreck I found using the Google image search. The haiku expresses the morbid humor I find in the real Latin meaning of my car's model name, Stratus. However, my car is intact, and I am intact, and I apologize for worrying anybody! If I'd been in a wreck, I certainly wouldn't have informed folks via haiku. :-)

I'm OK! I appreciate the concern; I'm sorry I made the wrong impression!
