Thanks, Richard. Your comments continue to push me to tinker and improve. I do think it makes sense for the hearer, in imagining the driver's loss, to think of positive things. He could imagine a derailed recovery. That might be more interesting. I'll ponder whether it is worth the space in so short a poem.

Thanks, Sam. That boulder has caused enough confusion. Out it goes.

I've tried a new title, but it feels flat to me. I'll keep thinking.
