Coleman.
I didn't know him, but they did.
A boy hit head-on,
His brother in the passenger side.
Four days, hours, minutes,
They can't tell how long he lay in the hospital --
His brain damaged,
But their hearts even more so.
I didn't know him, but they did.
Red, puffy eyes and quiet sobs
(Both sure signs of open, community grief)
Make appearances on the morning after.
By noon, they haven't ceased.
I didn't know him, but they did.
