dumb accidents
beginning to write about accidents
you see there is no end to the mess
some people can wander into.
*
in 1842 a german visitor to manchester
noted so many people in the streets
minus limbs he thought the army must
be at war someplace
*
but they were factory accidents
*
then there were sleep debt accidents
where people had nodded off
under the wheels of a big Mac
*
& there were reversing truck accidents & lawnmower
accidents & wine biscuit accidents where
someone’d thrown a biscuit at the temple of
someone else & they dropped dead of it
in a pokey kitchen
*
& there were amusement ride accident reports
& alpine accidents where there was a whole blog
about a surgeon ~
*
i was a surgeon in the infirmary for alpine troubles
*
& there were wal-mart accidents & winn dixie accidents
& what to do after a michigan car accident
*
& there were prevention accidents and stop taking chances
accidents in 5 simple steps & power mower accidents
where the blades can be tragic to a young one’s limb in
the yard.
*
& there were 7 secrets to avoiding car accidents.
check for cars twice over
behind you – look.
watch for cars rushing
get the habit of looking left
when switching lanes on a highway always turn your head
spot the car pulling the trailer first
be very careful when you are close to trucks – they don’t have eyes
kids have a bad habit of popping out from between cars
suddenly.
*
& there were car accident photos ~

buried as dumb accidents.
