The Jolt and Spill

That bump, it rose up
from the flat gray lot.
A sudden hump,
I hadn't caught.
The car flew, just a bit,
then crashed down hard.
A shock, a split,
a broken playing card.
And then the wet.
A cold brown stain.
The coffee, yet
to soak the pain.
Sour smell, a bitter spray,
on the floor, it spread.
A messy, ugly way
to start my head.
Just sitting there,
a pool of sludge.
I didn't care.
Couldn't budge.
