She (Original was lost, this is what I could remember)

She stands alone
Alone in the dark
She looks around and sees nothing
The only light is from above
Far above her
Is a circle of light
An opening
It's as if She's deep in a pit
A hole in the ground
Looking up at what She doesn't have
Seeing people walk by
Happy people
Smiling and laughing as they pass
She can't get to them
She calls out, but they don't hear her
Of course they don't
She's down there in this hole
How does She get out?
What does She do?
Is She stuck there forever?

Side Mirrors on Cars

So for a while now I've been contemplating the side mirrors on my car. I know it's an odd thing to contemplate...but seriously...who thought up the way they work?
They clearly state on them that objects you see in the mirrors are closer than they appear. So...you're driving and see something that appears like 5 feet away...but you probably only have 3 feet or something like that. That just doesn't seem safe! Wouldn't it be smarter to have objects you see in the mirror be farther away than they appear? Wouldn't it make driving so much easier if things looked 5 feet away but were really 6 feet away? Wouldn't less accidents happen that way?
So...who the fuck decided that things should be closer than they appear? Why wasn't the person that created them or thought up the idea smart enough to realize that people would be safer if things didn't appear farther away than they really are while you are driving. It's not like driving is the safest thing in the world to do...
