We were walking along a road Hand in hand Late afternoon And in the near distance A skinny brown dog was standing on the curb, Sniffing the concrete Tail wagging. Impetuously, it decided to cross the road As a speeding car was approaching- Oh, it was ugly. She let go of my hand And buried her face in my shoulder, Oh, God, no. Did you see it? No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, God, no. She wrapped her arms around me tight And there I was Listening to her slow, pain-stricken murmurs And looking at the mangled pieces of flesh and bones, A pool of blood rapidly building up around them. What could I do? What would you do? Because I just stood there, staring Disbelief in my eyes, Helplessness In my palms.

Life's like that sometimes
We were walking along a road Hand in hand Late afternoon And in the near distance A skinny brown dog was standing on the curb, Sniffing the concrete Tail wagging. Impetuously, it decided to cross the road As a speeding car was approaching- Oh, it was ugly. She let go of my hand And buried her face in my shoulder, Oh, God, no. Did you see it? No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, God, no. She wrapped her arms around me tight And there I was Listening to her slow, pain-stricken murmurs And looking at the mangled pieces of flesh and bones, A pool of blood rapidly building up around them. What could I do? What would you do? Because I just stood there, staring Disbelief in my eyes, Helplessness In my palms.
