Famous last words 
 

Probably it was something like 'shit'. 
Or 'hey'. Your dad used to say 'hey, hey' a lot 
in a specific way, which you would imitate 
with a question in it, fitting for crashing  
into a ditch. Or 'whoa'. 
The car was a rental after all. 
 
You seemed like the kind of person that 
would have fantasized about how 
that final moment would be. You would have prepared 
some kind of utterance. (They say that Voltaire 
while he was dying felt his own pulse to  
check how far gone he was). 
 
There are many versions about 
what he said while doing that. 
Maybe you had written something down, 
written and re-written but in the end 
in the car there was only water, ice and glass.
No words, no time.
