STOPPED


I stopped time today 

Around 6:12pm

Black ice 

70 mph 

No where to go but into the median 

I amnot quite sure how we are alive

I abandoned time today

and i'd like to believe this was the reason we are 

My body was leavitating and i watched my cigarette swirl 

Both of my books lifted out of my bag 

No other cars 

I BROKE TIME 

15 seconds felt like 3 minutes 

anything could've gone wrong 

For some reason

nothing did 

I felt my body become an object I was no longer

ME

Outside was just a blur of brightness 

Black ice had better moments  

Around 6:12pm today 

I STOPPED TIME
