Locked Doors

It was early morning
hadn't yet opened the touring sedan

but i had a plan
i was gonna bowl better than beforehand

on the way to the ally
took time driving avoiding hazards
approached the green light

looked around in sight

rolled out to the middle of the intersection

a whack and rumble approached my direction

i spun in an inappropriate section
this was not the what i had intended

i searched the interior for clues

and found the airbags had been removed

still humming properly

and smoking incessantly

i took time to jiggle the keys
motor shut off obediently

put the car into park
couldn't get it further than reverse
i fumbled with the door
jammed closed, tried again same results

the answer is to UN-LOCK
so i shouldered the door til it popped
took time to inhale and examine the damage

walking this asphalt were the memories that insult

a fellow traveler asked if everything was okay?

i told her 'i hope so' and walked from my door

across the walk, to where he parked

escaped his auto and grasped his head like handles

told me he was upset, and i told him i did regret

phone calls were made

didn't give direction that would fill a page

traffic filed slowly as the sunlight became holy

waiting for the blue and red lights

to approach this precarious sight

happened just before first light
i don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight

many tales told, but only one will be sold

honesty was expelled to constables

a ticket was issued, clean up was pursued

and on life moved

and on life moved

no time for locked doors

but quick enough to escape horrors

and on life moved

and on life moved

~Traumatized at the loss of a cherished VEHICLE

Love,
Digress.
