I wonder if he heard the bullet
if he heard the gun crack
if he knew his breath was his last
if he thought about his future
thought about his past
if he thought at all
or if it was too fast
I wonder if he heard the bullet
Did love dizzy his mind?
Did he think about his girl-
How she would feel when his body she'd find?
Did he think about his friends-
Who he would leave behind?
Did he think about himself
Trying to survive?
I wonder if he felt the pavement catch him
if he was still alive
I wonder when his heart stopped beating:
was it in the backseat of a car?
where they left his body?
Did they drag him far?
I wonder what he was thinking;
I hope that he was not.
His fiancé flew to a corpse, not a wedding venue.
His mother to a coroner, not a graduation.
His brother accepted his diploma, not knowing what had happened.
I hope that he never realized these things.
