19 minutes, Bel-Ami

Bel-Ami had an accident today

if he had not had that big fat
heavy car he would have been

smashed
flattened
squished

like the kid this summer
who is no longer
as old as my youngest

It told me one thing
that I keep forgetting

Live in the now
Walk the dog
Hug the world

19 minutes and then you might be -
on the landfill/
in the grave/
over the rainbow

Bel-Ami had an accident today
