The Lapse

The Lapse

Phone rings
Rubber screams
Loud CRASH
Metal screeches
One lapse
Three lives

About adeeyoyo

I am a middle-aged South African woman, living in Johannesburg. I began writing poetry towards the end of May 2010. I love animals – sometimes more than people!

      Very sad, Stilekke. I wrote it as I still see such dreadful thoughtlessness around, eg little kids standing on the front passenger seat and, of course, people talking and texting on phones while driving.
