Matt, I'm grateful for your detailed reaction. Very helpful.
I do feel that its appropriate--and stronger than strict grammatical correctness--to suggest the hearer imagines the driver's old life to be over.
I've restored the enjambment before before-and-aftering. Thank you.
As to the rest: you've given me a lot to think about, and I will do that.
Thank you.
Thank you, Julie. I'm glad the power company moved that electrical panel. I hope that also means that the injuries are less frequently severe. I've more strongly separated that regret from the list before it. Thanks.
