When I walk past
An overpass
Without a fence
My stomach jumps
In the same sort of
Excited way
Watching the cars
Speeding towards me
Far below
I imagine
A single movement
And think of
How long it might be
Until impact
How long would it be
Until someone hit me
My body
Crumpled on the asphalt
Far below
Where I stand
Looking out
Over the overpass
I shudder
And keep walking
