There is a second
One moment
That I can remember
So clearly
Speed, strong
They aren’t stopping
Jolt forward
My memory is
gone
But not to unconsciousness
There is glass
There is silence
There is pain

in bent metal
I got out
He called
Lights flashed
‘I need your driver’s license and
proof of insurance’
Smashed glass
I sit and look
And wait
Home
I just want to sleep
‘We need lights
bright lights to check your bones’
Nothing hurts
‘We need lights to check your bones’
Flash
flash
In x-rays
A prescription for
Your pain
I just want to sleep
The glass is still broken
They aren’t stopping
Loud
Eyes shut
I just want to sleep
