Res Ipsa Loquitur - Joseph Nakamura

When you let the good times roll
You don’t often think of your heart
Beating and pulsing
Like the bloom of the interstate 
During commuter hours.
And the congestion 
It might hit
When you press the accelerator too hard
Petal to the metal
Wind in your hair
Love in the distance.
and the impact that occurs
When two objects 
Body against body
Collide
Twisting together
To form a more disfigured union
Inseparable 
Leaving a wave of
Blood, oil, and tears
In their wake.
