Crash Test Dummy
200 km/h
10 feet high thick, brick wall ahead
Buckled up in a brand new Subaru
Ready set crash
You stood under the streetlight
Arms crossed across your chest
I looked down on the concrete
“So what now?” you said
Lips tremble, eyes blurred
Two shakes of head, a bite on the lip
A bite so hard it bleeds
“So this is it then?” you said again
More trembling, more blurring
A nod this time, another bite
Plus a grind of the teeth
And streams of tears
We’re crash test dummies
Speeding at 200 km/h
10 feet high thick, brick wall ahead
Buckled up side by side
Count down the seconds
10, 9, 8…
We’re waiting
Waiting to collide
