Bubble of Hush

Sirens blaring,
blue lights flashing
I know people are staring
at the police cars and ambulances dashing.
Traffic is becoming gridlocked
vehicles of all types are jammed,
it's always the same
when an accident like this happens.
A car and tractor
involved in a crash
now all smashed and crushed...
a bubble opens and swallows us up
a complete shock wave of hush.
As people quieten down
seeing what they can see,
because I bet they're quite glad
that they're not dead like me.

rubber-neckers

We call that "rubber-necking" here in the states. I can't remember if people in the UK say that... I guess it's kinda hard not to stare at accidents, but people should really mind their own business in such a situation.

Never heard of that expression

but it's a good one neo, thanks for commenting on this one! I always appreciate it :D ♥
