I do not want to
look in the rearview mirror
see the damage
cry for the dead (only on the inside)
drive on
leave the last 27 seconds behind
waste the next 27 years forgetting
the past 27 seconds
drive on
your sunglasses with block out the blood
your radio will drown out the screams
roll the window up
lock the door
you are in
they are out
you are safe
they are dead
you’ve been spared
check your seatbelt
it prevents deaths, they say
turn up the radio
it prevents thoughts, they say
keep your foot on the gas
leave the scene
flee the pain
do not turn around
it is done
you are complete
you are innocent
the blood does not stain
your hand or
your wheels
it only tints the side mirror
avoid them for the rest of the drive
the rain will clean it all later
ad hoc
