* Impact Instant Fatal Instantaneous Death

Rating: 5.0


the arrow of time has bullseye struck
termination barrier concrete telephone pole
fate reckless speed dead reckoning

while the pole instantly moved
half an out of line bloody inch

while the pole immobile moved
half a bloody inch
telephone pole deeply embedded
moved a whole half-inch

upon the body no mark
upon the shoulders no head

upon body no mark
not a scratch nor mark

upon shoulders no head
nothing from pulp neck up

stiff rod like corpse
found stone cold dead....
