” I didn’t see you
backing into me.
You had driven past.”
“Trying to back in
to avoid accidents.
Backing out too fast.”
“I think I’ve lost it.
Yesterday the same
play, different cast.”
“Two days ago, I turned
left out of this lot.
Just missed getting clipped.”
“Maybe I should check into
a mental hospital.
I think I’ve really flipped.”
“It’s a wild and crazy world
for us wild and crazy guys.
I can see my mind has slipped.”
Adrenalin waves buckle
my knees. His eyes seek a cue.
He’s me. I’m him. And I am
unzipped. Lost, without a script.
