Car Wreck

I couldn't comprehend -

shards of thoughts -

jerking motion -

crunching crumble -

chunks of plastic -

pain.

This isn't happening.

Trapped -

doors won't open -

crawling out the window -

can't think straight -

frantic phone calls -

911.

This can't be right.

Red and blue lights -

tears and shaking -

horror -

lost little girl [oh wait, I'm a grown up?] -

men with badges and clipboards -

sweltering, dripping heat.

This isn't real.

Deafening noise -

please just hold me -

goggling passersby -

adrenaline and fear -

pretending to be fine -

hugging strangers.

This can't be me.
