One mile to the rest stop
Read
Exit signs on the highway
Merge right at the next lane
Blind spots at a bad place
Even used his blinker
And you’d barely see that from mass plates
85 to the back plate
One turn and a bad day

New job, ain’t the last one
First day as an EMT
New call, it’s a bad one
Lights on at the gas speed
ECG in the back beeps
And the sound isn’t helping his heartbeat

Almost at the scene
Tire marks on the concrete
Words don’t fit for the sight seen
Words can’t say what the mess is
But one look showеd it unlikely
Of any life left in thе wreckage
Partner did the recheck
He just stood there speechless
Long drive on the way back
No talk, trying to think past
And he didn’t show the next day
And he didn’t show up the next day
And he didn’t show up the next day
New job, 25 and nothing the same
