A Smashed Life left on the sidewalk

Her hands trembled

Sirens filled the air

but she heard nothing

The world was on mute

It was only a second

She looked away from the road

To see a new text

Asking if she was at home

She veered onto the sidewalk

And panic set in

Instead of the brake

The wrong peddle went in

She hit a little boy

riding his bike

His parents

A wall and a posted light

Blood and body bags

Removed from her view

But it couldn't be them

None of this is true

All that was left

Of her now broken life

Was a smashed daisy, cigarette

and her little brothers bike
