Fuck. Wow
Makes you think huh?
Dividing each thought and connecting the end of one to the beginning of the next helped me with the illusion of time running backwards.
Geez this is heavy.
It’s super harsh. But I dig it.
Very interesting. Actually a really good poetic approximation of the visual time-rewind effect from movies.
Hits like a truck, too.
A similar essay by the great singer Kelly Hogan about her old band The Jody Grind. This hit me hard. https://www.tumblr.com/hoganhere/10118062681/this-is-my-favorite-picture-of-my-first-real-band
Reminds me of just how dangerous cars from the 80’s and 90’s really were. In the mid 00’s I had a buddy killed by a drunk driver in a story similar to this one.
His dad was a pilot and they were fairly well to do, but his dad didn’t want to spoil him. So when he left for school he bought him a compact truck that Toyota produced in the 80’s.
The accident was caused by a drunk driver falling asleep at the wheel and crossing the median of the highway. The drunk driver was uninjured, but my buddies car didn’t have airbags and the steering wheel crushed his chest.
Oh I remember those days. Hell I remember when seatbelts weren’t mandatory. Those were indeed dangerous times.
I’ve thought of doing this in the past. This helps add another perspective to it.
Me too, although not in such a messy way.
