The Power of YouTube
You watch the crazy Arabs drift
Their sedan wildly across the road.
The driver drifts into the sand,
The car flips—a graceful flip—
Catches, and spins with a flourish,
Flinging the passengers out into
A wild floating apex, a guttural scream.
At the computer screen, a horrified breath
Quickly stirs the lining of your lungs.
You hit replay, your heart quickens,
Your torso tightens around your adrenal gland.
The horrible scream, the fleshy thud
Then brightened silence—you are alive.
