I closed my eyes - and went over the street

Something
Something just smashed into my ear
It was a nasty piece of thing
A fucking bird it was
As loud and as clear as it could
It screamed
"This might be the last life of your day"
I just smiled
How silly

So
What do we do?

I closed my eyes
And went over the street
I could hear the silent thoughts of the machines
The cars
There was no need to stop
It was already over

Because
You see
The bird was already dead
When it hit my drum-membrane
