27. Hit and Run

Mama I hit that man
Stepping out of his truck
I hit that man

Down where the road curves west
And the trees shine gold
His legs smashed
Against my hard bumper
Windshield shattered
His body clamoured

Mama I hit that man
The trees bleed rust now
And my mind will never be the same

Mama, I hit that man
Laying in my bed
I hit that man

Laughing at my anger
Knowing I’m a fool
I grabbed the pillow
Forced it down upon him
Arms flailed
And I jerked myself away

Mama I hit that man
The blankets bleed rust now
And my mind will never be the same
