Him, Me, Them
(April, 21, 2016, 5:22 PM)

witnessing a near death is sobering and still
a man walking into a street and another man bumper, body, floor, brakes
white noise and a rining takes over
it wasn’t me
they are there
did someone die?
are they okay?
hurting? 
just fine, oh he is walking, angery, defensive
acceleration and distance
onlookers regurgitate the experience
i write this down
walk away humbled, yet walking
vicariously dead through him
