!!!!

by Richard Willems - Aquarius

Accident!  Too late
realize should have
bought a helmet
hand and foot slam
brakes squealing
one line of rubber
pointing the open mouth
old lady in the back
seat she screams
metal screams
dull thump rubber
on metal screams
thump on flesh
stopped.
now, stopped
this intersection is still
I am still
am pissed off I
watch the old lady scream I
get up clearly see the damage
clearly not my fault I
watch the car speed away I
push to the corner push
everything away I
want someone to push I
am still alive.
Thank God.
