Steel On Steel and Rock On Rock, The dog
barks and the infant cries. There is no time
to think or feel or to even care. There is
time only to hear. The incessant chatter of
squirrels, of breaking bones.
Murder, suffering. But there is no time to
investigate. For it has been 20 seconds.
A tear runs down my cheek, but I do not know
why I am crying. I know nothing, except the
sound of crashing cars and ambulance sirens.
Sirens that should be saving parting the red
sea of cars to save innocent lives.
But lives are lost, ever 20 seconds.
No time to think, no time to remember.
For in my head a steam engine's whistle
blows.
Marking the caboose of my train of thought.
For it has been 20 seconds
