Winter Driving

A traffic accident

Gawkers paradise

.

Rubbernecking is a

Preventable disease

Keep your eyes

On the road and off

The cold corpses

On the concrete

Lookie-loos only

Exacerbate the problem

Creating more work

For EMT workers

Life flight pilots

Tow truck drivers

Autobody repairs

Insurance paperwork

Guardrail repair people

Doctors and coroners

Casket makers and

Grave diggers

.

Drive wise the life

You save may be your own

Though you won’t be

The center of attention

To repeat the story

Of the horrific accident

You once saw in the

Briefest of moments

That takes longer to tell

Than it did to occur

.

“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”

– Angelo Devlin
