tug and away they go 1400 stadium seats like a snail shell unspiraling down a plug hole it’s just a binary whirr, green and grey moving shapes tickling my eyelids the next day as we hurtle toward that silver car which ran a red light I wait for new dreams the dividing of shin bones a head in a glove box but luck has a dozen centimetres in stock and breathing fast through our finger tips we hit any key to continue the plug hole can wait

Great build up. Wasn’t sure where this was going but glad it ended with everyone intact.

Goodness, this was brutal. Memories of my two bad accidents came immediately to mind. These images are on steroids in this poem. Your talent is amazing. 🙂

Thanks, Mike! You’re so kind. Yesterday’s experience sure shook me up. We were on our way home from a post cancer treatment check up at the hospital. All was good. And then I thought the universe had new plans! As my grandfather always said “You have to consider everybody else on the road a fool.”

I’m so glad everything ended up okay–both the check-up and the near-miss on the road. You’re right–things can change in a heartbeat and we have to keep our heads on a swivel on the road. Happy to know you’re safe and sound. 🙂

My mom always said “Drive carefully and watch out for the other idiots.” Hmmm.
