Car Crash
Listen to your eyes.
Take note where they linger
and where they don't.
Take note at whom you catch
yourself starting and whom
you couldn't bear to watch.
Take note of those whom
you can't bring yourself
to turn away from, like
a driver, passing by,
an onlooker at a car crash,
a sight you can't peel your
eyes from, if your life
depended on it.
