life is 2 short

last night i run from the cops,
unnecessary i now now but i ran
i'm on probation a flipped my shit
this morning
a friend from high school
and his wife
are dead

i'm running through ever breath of negativity i could have thought
about this kid...that's what he was a kid...taken from us way 2 early
and regretting

my heart aches for his family...his mom, dad, sister especially
as well as his wife's - whom i'd never met

my god we don't necessarily have that long do we
getting all depressing around here today...


5 boaters killed at Texoma

Collision casts a pall over lake's 'poker run'; 1 hospitalized in Dallas

12:00 AM CDT on Sunday, September 3, 2006

OKLAHOMA CITY – Five people were killed and another was injured Saturday when two jet boats collided on Lake Texoma, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said.

The accident occurred about 12:30 p.m. near U.S. Highway 377 east of Willis in far southern Oklahoma.

The identities of the dead and injured were withheld until relatives could be notified. The survivor, a man, was at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, but his condition was not known.

Two married couples in one boat died, Trooper Kera Philippi said. A woman from the other boat was flown to an area hospital, where she died. A man from that boat was flown to Dallas.

A "poker run" event, in which participants get a playing card at five stops and win if they have the best poker hand, was going on at the lake, but Ms. Philippi said investigators don't know whether the victims were involved.

Owners and managers at several marinas said the accident did involve boats from the race.

"It was really a big deal across the lake," said Sherri Williams, owner of Catfish Bay Marina. "I've been on the lake 15 years, and I don't know of a mishap in a poker run.

"It's been depressing all across the lake today."
