there's a mantra screaming inside my brain and it's eating me alive
i can't stop thinking if she felt it or if it hurt or what she's seen
did she feel the machinery eat into her flesh and snap her bones like in a ******* movie scene
did she see the ground become the sky and the sky the ground
or did she see the trees as they grew upside down
did she see her life in her eyes
does she know that all we've done is cry
did she feel the tons of steel barrel into her and rip her limb from limb?
did she feel any fear?

a girl died today as she was getting off the bus. i did not know you, but i remember you. i am so sorry. you were only in the seventh grade. everyone saw.
