Unbidden by the sleet and rain, true,
__he came anyway.
__Breathless he ran, throat burning,
__eyes smarting, looking through a sea of bitter-hard water
____armed with tiny knives
Still,
__he hurried
__stumbled in the darkness,
__the world itself seeming to recoil as he fell
__the ground barely willing to catch him.
It was only the truck that saved him
__Blew its horn,
____squealed its amazing brakes until
______he awoke
______and reached out his hand
Jesus chewed his gum
__straightened his cap
__left him at the side of the road.
