“My life passed twice before my eyes”
Everyday terror of a life behind a wheel.
Moving slowly but faster than the body was made to run.
A moment of inattention.
Just a moment.
The drift.
The telephone pole is closer than is comfortable.
Snapped back the wheel
into the moment.
Remember this terror.
A momentary lapse can be fatal here.
We mostly ignore this to stay alive.
