Mortality

I was walking
quickly
so quickly that I
was floating
and the rain didn't touch me.
I thought the car swerved.
Through the rain, the sirens
and lights
are bothersome.
I can't tell up from down.
My heart is beating so fast
out of my chest
right out
of my chest.
When I stopped
I felt the rain
turn to snow.
It wasn't me on the gurney.
