Accident
Can time stand still? For a moment
Can it stop its usual slopping and splashing
And be calm?
I think it did, once. I barely noticed, I was hurting so much
From the accident. But
I remember a free feeling, isolated, my chains
All unlocked, as time stopped its furious movements.
Did you notice? When my eyes opened slightly wider
And my breathing slowed? Did you think
Perhaps time has snagged on the corners of what has happened?
And just
Stopped?[/font]
