Among the Broken Ones

4. Crossing The Highway

Each accident could
change our notions
of order
and the universe.

I dont know
how it happened---
I just wanted to cross the street
but I got hit
in the chest
of something different;

it felt good and aching
at the same time
like how 'last times'
are both poignant and sweet.

I am not so sure
how I got there.
All I know is that
you were there
at the other side
and I just wanted
to cross the highway
towards you.

So tell me
were you hit
by this
accident too?
