Ambulance speeding in the night,

Red cock hat spinning, flashing white,

blinking red, lights

aglow,

Zigzagging through scrambled cars, where

do you go?

Do you answer a plaintive call for help,

Crying in the crashing of steel

and the frantic squeal

of brakes?

Or do you bear a body oozing its soul

in your wake?

Ambulance speeding in the night,

Seeking an unsuspecting body

succumbed to bloody

destiny,

Will you someday come screaming, screaming

after me?
