A sight I will never forget
A UPS truck ran into a telephone pole on the corner near my home
I was 10
Skinny freaked out, wild eyed and full of shit
The driver's head went through the windshield
Exploded on the telephone pole
Never occurred to me
The beauty of that scene
Blood, brains and all that milk
Everything ran down to the gutter
I ran down the hill observing the greying milk snake
My parents on the other hand were quite annoyed
The package they were expecting was destroyed!

Thank you my friend. It is alarming to see something so horrific at any age, but especially at an early age. Appreciate you.

Traumatizing write, Keith. That would leave a mental scar. Appreciate you.
