I was the 1st one approaching the intersection with solid green light. Two lanes roads. with a few cars behind and to the right. I was on the 2nd lane from the sidewalk. A very dim morning with low visibility.
About a few meters to cross. An electrical wheelchair was in my eye corner by the sidewalk, thought he was waiting for the light to cross, but he jumped on to the road, so fast the next second he was right in front me, dark color, the rider was also in a dark coat without refelecting strips. He was literally blinded in the dark gray asphalt road.
I was at the dead speed limit 60km/h, I braced the brake all the way down to the floor, no way I could stop the car in 5 meters. ABS brake lowers the braking efficiency, increase brake distance, but doesnt lock steering front wheels allow you to steer in emergency. Braking and meanwhile steering, the car stopped, just missed him by a hair!
I knew I didn't hit him, I couldn't see how close, he was at the front right corner of the hood. That close!
The guy wakened from day dream, tried to run back to the sidewalk, he had to cross right lane, I knew there was cars on that lane behind me.
I braced the horn crazy to sound alarm to others
I wasn't even scared, not time, only after I arrived at work, spoke to others , my legs started trembling.
【Her Last Hour】
By Tian Yu Zhi
Almost finished her evening jog,
She waited at the traffic light, to return home
The light changed to a pedestrian walk sign
She picked up her feet and moved forward ——
At that split second, her fate collided with
A stranger’s decision to speed up and run a red light
She heard sighs, sound of flute arise from a valley
Her pink tee shirt did not reflect
The brilliance of her humanity
Her will of steel could not stop the force of velocity
In slow motion, a red flower bloomed
On dark cement of reality
Plum petals began a journey of
Descending, in spirals, to eternity
At 6:35pm, May 25th, 2021
Two days before her big birthday
One day before receiving a love poem that
She has been waiting for, all her life
Four days before a 5K race,
Her son and she organized for the Asian Heritage Month
Seven days before she greets another 100 students
Two hours before she finishes a draft for a poem
Titled “On This Day”, for him.
These actions would have happened sooner
Had they knew,
The dark side of time and patience
2021.5.25
* I went out for a jog this evening and was almost killed by a SUV running a red light. 惊恐之余，提笔记之。

不和谐，隐约见血，in a state of chaos。。。像是事故场景

上了
那辆车嗖地在我面前穿过，我能感到它的风。。。速度很快
我禁不住摊开手。。。在交通口四面停着的车，可以感到他们对刚目睹的事的惊讶和为我的恐惧。。。
唉，差点儿给撞死了，到现在想起来还后怕。。。
生死可以是几秒之间的事，所有的计划,感知，骤然停止
Love you _1-1,English - Chinese

In her own way,

a thousand years, I have died everyday waiting for you... 歌词很配诗！
另外那个歌手唱得也很激情。。。 多谢贴歌助兴！ 早晨好！ ～～
不要只相信路灯，即使路灯指示是该你走了，也要和左右司机先有 eye contact， 然后再走。。。
Good advice!
