Trick Treat Crash

TRICK TREAT CRASH

bullied time after time after time
rolling is funny
but as time goes by and by
humor says goodbye
falling leaves dying and dying
line crossed after midnight
father is on a vendetta to snap and snap
rolling up to one of the cars
taking pictures of the license plate
the other car speeds on and on
the driver of the getaway car
has had her license for a moment, a moment
in time, she turns off her lights in the dead of night
the shadowy car wraps and wraps
itself around an innocent tree, the victim’s father
cries and cries, as he finds his daughter’s classmates

beside himself on court tv, in its early days
he lives his shame over and over again

a lesson to be learned, by the impulsive!
think and think, before you follow your instincts!
