"I think now the other accidents we are describing, the senseless deaths of wounded, maimed and traumatized.
I think psychopaths accidents, accidents implausible, made in self-loathing and resentment, evil multiple collisions developed in stolen cars on the highway at night, between office workers tired.
I think senseless accident neurasthenic housewives returning from the institute prophylactic and jumping on cars parked in suburban streets.
I think accidents schizophrenic excited clashing head vans Laundry Coming just a street stall in one way, to those of manic depressive ground at unnecessary u-turns on ramps to highways, to those of paranoid unlucky hitting a brick wall after a reported deadlock to those of decapitated sadistic nannies in their cars returned on complex interchanges, those of managers of supermarket lesbians burned alive in the battered carcass of their mini-cars under the watchful eye of firefighters stoic middle-aged, those Autism crushed when rear-end collisions (less bruised their eyes in death) to those mentally retarded prisoners of their coach and flowing in a channel along a road in the heart of an industrial area.
