I read the colon like a simile or metaphor or some associated thing like that. So, what the hell is knowing knowing? Beats me. Usually forget about roadkill pretty quickly.

Good question on the colon - hadn't really thought that through.  I guess it's trying to make what comes after subordinate to the concrete (though stinky)  sight which evokes it.  If I were a Victorian (chronologically, not geographically) it might be an address:

"Oh, wheel-murdered Dormouse:
Was't pleasanter to Pass
Not knowing Knowing?"

or the like.

Lol. Don't think there's anything wrong with the colon. The word "pass" is good cause it's a pun for passing on the road and death. I guess not knowing knowing is good. I mean, I don't really know how else to say that.
