in the car with showtunes, strawberry smoothies and conversation

on one such trip we
spot turkey vultures
devouring road kill

heads bobbing
in a tug and pull

big as black labs
i say

kelsea counts four

five, i counter
motioning to
an uneven sky

before listing
the top ten
worse ways to die

kelsea offers shark attack

like a dolls eyes
she mimics

i wonder aloud if shark
trumps fire

smoke is peaceful
she explains

it'll get you
before flame

but with shark

you watch your own
leg chinese-finger-trapped

before he finishes you off


nope, that would not be fun

i agree



while wiggling my straw
back and forth in the cup
