The road dimly lit
Bumpy, uneven pavement
Startles and jostles.
///
Silence heard between
The firing of pistons
And uncanny thoughts.
///
Vague signs in excess
No direction to follow
Clueless and anxious
///
The metal shell swerves
Wondering if this is it
Searching for pavement.

High Rise, Deep Impact
I have witnessed a death that I relive every time I step into an elevator. Although it no longer affects me as deeply—given that it's been 11 years since the incident—it remains a heart- rending memory from my first and last day as a paramedic. My initial call to the scene involved a man who seemed to have fallen down the elevator shaft of a high-rise building. Alternatively, it might have been that the elevator moved upwards while he was working on it. Different scenarios were being considered when I arrived.
