Car Crash

I had my first car accident today. I know its weird, but it was a very interesting experience. There should be a billion other words I should use to describe such an incident, but I actually find interesting the most fitting word. I am not angry or sad or anything along those lines. The cost of the damage is the only thing that is bugging me, but situations like that are endless. Money is Money. But the car crash was...odd. (immawrite in thoughts)

hard to explain
everything was slow...
Its a moment where you can see everything
and feel everything, yet you feel so helpless.
Cliche, but those few seconds felt forever
I floated through time
moments happened in frames
it could of been the adrenaline
things just seem so clear
I was flying straight into the car in front of me
flying into my own doom
the interesting part of it, besides the whole slow motion matrix experience
was the certainty of it all. I've never been so certain of anything in my life
Although I was slamming onto the breaks and clutching for dear life at the wheel
I already knew in my head I was... I resolved... I said to myself "I'm fucked"
My brain flat lined; all thoughts were gone.
Although it was a very bleak view, it was true.
I have never accepted something so easily in my life.
The acceptance of the situation, of the impending doom caused some calm in me, some peace
its weird. things were quiet although my music was playing and my tires were screeching.
things seem so clear.
it wasnt until the crash, the physical hit, when I snapped back into reality.
That utterly inevitable fate I was gliding into, that path into certainty
certainty and acceptance-- was beautiful. It was simply... interesting
there are few instances in life that can give you that "moment of clarity"
