AND THERE WAS ME WITHOUT AN I
Time dawdles
stretches out the crash
to an infinity of now
casually I watch the car
crash into my side
as if it were someone else's story
car runs red light
the crash about to happen
taking...its. . .( time )
I watch my door buckle
as if an invisible monster
wanted to eat its way to me
time...finally(stops):
I fade to black
karate chopped from luggage from the back
I drink up unconsciousness
thirsty for
the oblivion it brings
the world leaves me now
even my thoughts
don't even know me
I am no more
a me
without an I
"You knocked. . ?"
Death asks politely
"No..just...passing through!"
Life swims back to me
from a distant
horizon
"Hey!" shouts Life
"It's me!"
"Do I know you?" I ask

That moment or instant rather when you watch the world or rather your world coming to an end...time slows down unbearably and it takes a century for a second to pass and then...the world switches back on again and...well...there you are!
