The sight made the world slow down,
and my eyes took snapshots in
rapid-fire succession.
Off the road on the grassy ground

was a mass of black metal,
wrapped around an unmoved pole,
embracing it fatally.
My head became a beehive.

My thoughts were humming loudly-
NO ONE MADE IT OUT ALIVE.

The hot sun was beaming down.
The car cushions were light brown.
Thoughts are strange in moments when
gunshots breed no violins.

A thought had occurred to me:
that death looks like a beer can,
bent and broken, thrown away.
Inspired by a crashed car I saw earlier this week.

This is really vivid and really strong. Car crashes are horrible.
