Analysis of Event Horizon, Speed Limit 30



The light, fading from his eyes
Was so glazed,
so far away, it felt Like possession. But no one was held & everything was missing.
   The Void that came 1 split second after that Light,
... was so vast, so dense, so incredibly empty, that
Time stopped---& ate itself.
  And what connected those 2 seconds was like a union, a marriage, or a collision; but
There was no collision & no intentions of a Union.
   Together, those 2 seconds did
Math beside & inside of each other adding & dividing under
A hail of seconds that loaded Light into Darkness as if Light were bullets.
  I understood nothing, except that watching another human being die is
the most ordinary & yet Surreal experience we have on this Earth.
    An Event Horizon that even the Lightest Memory can't escape.
  I just wish I hadn't watched him die in that street like that.
    There's something
   Obscenely blinding about
       An Event Horizon 2 feet from
  A "Speed Limit 30" sign.
