An Incident MAG
The warm woolen hat comes just above her eyes.
The rusted vehicle coughs to a start,
Carelessly tossing her scrubs in the back seat,
So innocent.
Departing the social scene in the early morning hours,
Staggering out into the street
Five individuals boisterously pile into mother's wagon,
screeching away recklessly.
So young.
She thinks about her grueling, long hours and awaiting sheets.
They total up their intake for the evening.
She goes through on green.
They go through on red.
Sounds of crunching metal and screeching brakes
Pierce the still black night.
Then, once again silence
Not even a breath to be heard.
Paramedics and cops swarm like bees
In a fruitless effort
To find signs of Life.
But they are too late.
Tragedy poured out of a bottle,
Drowning all six.
Innocence and youth both
Swept away with the arriving dawn.
