have you ever hit an animal with your car?
It's 1991 and my friend and i are driving drunk in santa cruz. she drives, i play the radio. we race around s-curves on a side road and suddenly see a puff of white, a tail, fur, a face in front of the car and we slam into it. we are instantly silent. we say nothing , we suck in our breath, we freeze in a singular moment, not moving, barely breathing, i can feel my heart pounding in the spaces between my skin and my muscles.
and we keep driving.
it's one of those things i let leak into my thoughts only a few minutes a year.
