To watch glass fall
In slow motion
To the ground.
You don't even realize
When it shatters
Against your feet
Piercing into your skin.
Next thing you know
There is a puddle
Of blood forming
Around you.
Its a bizarre thing
When you don't react
Watching painfully,
acting normally.
You go to call someone
Walk to the phone
Blood dripping behind you
Like in a horror movie.
You call,
They answer.
You loose more blood,
They rush on home.
Then you realize
A piece of glass
Is still in your foot
Painting with blood.
You quickly pull it out
Without thinking
As a rush of red
Floods out more.
Its an amusing thing
To be "in the moment",
To stay calm when you just
Watched glass stab you.
Its not at all what it seems
Like in the horror movies.
No, its much different,
Its much more peaceful.
To look around you
And see splatters
Of blood your own blood
Is quite...
Inspirational.
