Recklessness

It was a day that coulnd't be better  
I was hitting the road to work  
While I was trying to have a left turn    
At a similar, narrow intersection  
A motorbike from nowhere suddenly appeared    
Came to my sight at a lightning speed    
Whistling past my windshield  
Made me greatly stunned and flattened  
   
At the moment I was about to hit him  
I tried hard to slam on the brakes    
And force my car to pause  
When I looked at the young man on the motorbike  
He was wearing a humble helmet  
And was not at all frightened    
The whatever attitude from his glance like saying:  
Look! I am not afraid of death!  
Do you dare to bring it forth?    
   
How could an ordinary person face death without freaking out?  
He must be a raving lunatic  
In his crazy outlook  
I was a scared cattle kneeling to pray  
And he was a predator who got his prey  
   
Almost a second I couldn’t even move  
Many possibilities surged into my head  
I might strike him with bloodshed  
And that is not my initiative  
I might suffer from the misery  
And that is a pain through eternity  
   
Pick up my fallen bag    
Which was flung forward by the violent jolt  
I was depressed but still hope  
He could be safe at the next stop  
On the way to school  
The motorcyclist’s face loomed up  
Ghastly pale  
With desperately hopeless  
Recklessness
