what i saw
kid in shades chasing family
runs into the street
what i also see
big bad black beauty
barreling towards them
the screams of come back
flailing arms and widened eyes
they see what i see
the kid does not
tires screech on pavement
the hard thud
the second softer thud
of dead weight
silence brief endless
the stopped reaper
sprayed red
now hysterical screams
all eyes on driver
i see them see him
thinking ****** for ******
i would help but
whats to be done with
damage done
let sadness settle itself
in the street
as the cracked sunglasses
settled on the sidewalk
