Lifeless

The energy was sapped,
just like that.

Like a tarnished sock,
smeared with mud
and a pathetic hole
down by the heel.

When the vehicle struck.

Losing its essence,
like a rubber ball
that no longer bounces
to the endless void.

It was instantaneous.

Like the flight of a humming bird,
catching up with the evening breeze.

It will be forgotten, maybe.

Like a Bugs Bunny toy,
stuck in the attic;
home of the creepy spiders
that crawl over its grubby face.

The accident ocurred last night.
