The 911 call was simple
Car accident on 57. Its really bad.
The ambulance crew pulled two tangled people from
what was left of two cars
B was the only survivor, and when the paramedics found a pulse
he was piled onto a gurney
A pile of crushed glass and tangled chrome
is what a state trooper made with his pushbroom
after the ambulance and the tow trucks had pulled away
leaving behind a single set of flashing lights and
a false calm
The presence or absence of stimuli: part two
