Won't you help support DayPoems? PedestrianBy Bob Childs21st CenturyHis face froze Wide eyed like a Thief caught in a spotlight Her scream took hold of her hands and Locked them to the wheel Welded her feet to the brake as She laid rubber over him "Knocked him clear into next week!" The old men will say Chatting on a bench outside the Texaco Twenty degrees that night but He lay in a hot bath His breath escaping into clouds He slips into a dream She never took her hands off of the wheel She never closed her eyes Not even as red light cut the sky Not even as zipper crossed his brow Not even now as she lay in her bed Remembering that night Nearly twenty years ago.
