My Poem of The Day at Gnashing Teeth

This is the poem about Pluto I was having trouble with earlier this year. Now I’m glad it is done, and up at Gnashing Teeth.

Pluto

we almost got hit
and killed
last night
on the road behind the dam
when another car
came out of nowhere

or—it’s good
I hadn’t pulled
into then lane
when the driver
took the turn too fast

or, luck saved me,
or a guardian angel
so I could
arrive on time
go to the party
with people not really
my friends

or…

you’ve been dead
almost twenty-five years
and I hear
a phone ringing
in a casita
without a phone
