Collision of the Heart - July 4th, 2000

Watching
in exaggerated motion
the collision
that would happen
I wondered at the 
irreversibility
that seemed inherent.

And whether I could have,
somehow, prevented
this tragedy from occurring.

And like the horrific
image that it was,
my mind 
persisted in replaying
every second
as I watched
the train
collide
into the sea.
