How to Leave the Scene of an Accident

Running,

That is all that sounds good to me...

Running,

From the work

And the people

And the time.

I just want to get in my car and fly

Or get in my head and fly,

Whichever is easiest.

This noise is teaching me that

Silence would be agreeable

(something that I have dreaded.)

 

His view is narrow and it's causing me to feel restless.

Her mind is twisted and it's causing me to doubt.

Staring out my windshield at the red lights ahead,

Contemplating...

How many hours a day do I sit in this car without going anywhere.....

How many miles is it to Mexico?

I really like this write. The city life, it really reminds me of city life, the rush and everything else that sickens me. I often think of just flying away somewhere. Cuz when life sits on you with that fat arse of its, it is not so easy to just be. And it happens sometimes.
Keep writing,
Peace,

I really liked this! I've definately had days like this, and this describes it perfectly. I also really liked how your narrator refers to everyday monotony and routine as the accident from which she (or he) wishes to run. Truly good stuff. Definately keep up the good work.

To me, this piece seemed to be about getting away from everything, and leaving it all behind. Keep up the great writes.

I love this. Very intense & could make an interesting storyline! I love the line "Or get in my head and fly," in particular. Unique way to "escape" from an accident, by hiding within your own mind. Great job!

I like this. I think we can all relate to wanting to run away from it all. I like the last line "How many miles is it to Mexico". So simple, yet so descriptive. In our crazy worlds, I think this is something that will speak to many. Thanks for sharing.
