Mama saw a Dead Man

My mama arrived home
Asked why it was so quiet 
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 wasn’t chasing someone
So there must be a crash
She went on driving 
Turning the corner - on her way
One car had its front end 
HAD its front end 
That was smashed like a tin can
And another sat a few feet away
Side slammed in and window shattered 
His seatbelt
A protector of life 
Still on
Sat slumped over the wheel
And didn’t move 
... 
I asked: 
You’d think they‘d take him out
Of the ruined metal on tires
But waiting on the EMT’s was a priority
Couldn’t move him until they pronounced: 
Dead
I wondered who he’d been
Didn’t know what he’d looked like
... 
That’s twice that I’ve seen a dead man 
That’s what my mama said
