Mama saw a Dead Man

My mama arrived home
Asked why it was so quietÂ
I shrugged
Scrolling with my earbuds in
She said: I saw a dead man today
She been going down Grand Prairie Parkway
And a cop car went flying past
It wasnât chasing someone
So there must be a crash
She went on drivingÂ
Turning the corner - on her way
One car had its front endÂ
HAD its front endÂ
That was smashed like a tin can
And another sat a few feet away
Side slammed in and window shatteredÂ
His seatbelt
A protector of lifeÂ
Still on
Sat slumped over the wheel
And didnât moveÂ
...Â
I asked:Â
Youâd think theyâd take him out
Of the ruined metal on tires
But waiting on the EMTâs was a priority
Couldnât move him until they pronounced:Â
Dead
I wondered who heâd been
Didnât know what heâd looked like
...Â
Thatâs twice that Iâve seen a dead manÂ
Thatâs what my mama said
