What's The Difference?

Man flew off the highway
We watched. Time didn't stop
So we moved on to places we had to be.

Why I thought,

but decided to play music instead.
Cold day to die

I thought.

Was he a boy whose future was filled with phonecalls?
Was his alter ego called James or John or did they take turns at identities?

Cold cold day to die.

And how would they know who was who and which was which lying there underneath the flyover - James, John or the Boy.

Far worse things happen. Like being shot at by a classmate when school ended. What a moment of shock when the first bullet went through him.

Did he think "but I was just playing?' Or did he go down with a curse. There's honor in death too like the heroes have.

Boys will be boys. "Another toy gun for you little one, now go and learn to be a man".

A little bit of fun never did anyone any harm

or did it?

cold days these.
