In a heartbeat,
The car turned the corner
too fast, and turned over,
The last thing the mother
did was scold her
Son for chewing loudly
In a heartbeat
The lonely girl bumped into
the guy who was leaving
For good and she wasn’t
lonely any more
“It’s funny how we met,” she
told her children.
In a heartbeat
He smiled at her and talked
about their next trip
And then the darkness
covered the side of his face
And he slipped away from her
In a heartbeat
He scratched the lotto card
One hundred thousand it said
And that was the amount of
friends he gained
In a heartbeat
He screwed up the cigarette
and promised himself
That was that
And it was
In a heartbeat
The sun warmed his face and
he smiled
And the blackness let him be for a few kind minutes
In a heartbeat
As she sat alone at the bar, a friend joined her and another
And another and in a
heartbeat, she knew she was the lucky one.
