The
Tale of the Queen of Endor by Clayton Beach |
The
darkest night he has ever seen His life, now a far off memory Only emptiness One small step, all it takes, too easy As he falls, he doesn't think but feels Asphalt, his savior, rushing to his aide No girls, no friends, no dreams The street greets him to put his life at an end She hears a dim thud, normally she would notice He’s roaring down the road of inebriated despair He slows his car to a stop at the foot of the wreck He meets his friends at a party, the crash stuck
in his mind |
