Without Warning
Sometimes
you're traveling
a highway, the only road
you've ever known,
and wham! A semi
comes from nowhere
and rolls right over you.
Sometimes
you don't wake up.
But if you happen
to, you know things
will never be
the same.
Sometimes
that's not
so bad.
Sometimes
lives intersect,
no rhyme, no reason,
except, perhaps,
for a passing semi.
