The day that I almost died

Life’s fragile – especially when you pursue the wild side of things.

Subway station, silence

rats were all over the place.

In Brooklyn waiting for the G train

4 am

heavy air.



Me and my wingman friend decided to cross the tracks to the opposite side,

defying boredom and death.



But we deliberated – even drunk

that it was probably a stupid thing to do:

we would trip fall down and be electrocuted

so we decided to wait ‘till another day

when ethanol is low in our bloods and reason clear

to try the deed without any fear
