The slow fall

Larry Lowry 1959 (Pryor)

Free verse
I was 5 and i was in a tree 3 stories high and fell on the ground  and i was putting a bundle of steel and i was 19. Then another worker walked up and slammed a steel trap on my hand. I should have lost my hand. I was 24 on a 750 honda going into tulsa okla streets a car was besides me and drives right into me and i only had time to say oh and fell. My life events so many things . Im alone and no one has seen all the things thats been done in my life.
