driving is not my best work

flipped three cars
drunk as the bum wine
soaked villain
of some french
movie no one
cares about

got one dui
unrelated

so shes driving us
to see a movie
at a bar
an odd concept
that i had never
quite understood

we slide in
black leather seats
with children’s homework
lying on the floorboard

she goes to a bank
gets out
i watch her reflection
in the side mirror
against the window
against me
and just watch
noticing
the warning sign
that objects
may be closer than they
appear
