At the scene of the landing the crowd gathered round
with some vomit and gasps at the lump on the ground
Tree limbs were broken what a mess everywhere
No EMT needed no chance for repair.
I was just walking my dog down the block
I just heard this snapping and thud like a rock
Probably unconscious, there wasn’t a scream
My God fifty feet and it could have hit me.
Hey, I saw him falling , man that was so fast
He came through those trees in two seconds max
I think someone killed him I mean I can’t say
It just don’t rain people, like this anyway.
I am a nurse, but were not trained for this
nothing to heal, all broken to bits
I just drove by saw the crowd and I stopped
to help if I could, but obviously not.
This is my house, I was having a biscuit
I heard the commotion and ran out and heres this
What the hell happened, just look at that tree
What? My last name is Guidry, that’s G U I D.
Hey, I told you kids, to stay in the car
God did they see him, they’ll all be so scarred.
Dude; check his wallet; might have an ID
Man what a morning: just look at that tree.
A man got up had coffee and toast
then “I’m off to skydive”: that was the note.
No need for names, its just a short read
with statements and photos of that torn up tree.
