cat in a tree

as the fire truck,
aglow in red,
sirens blaring,
its lights lit up
and spinning
careens through
the intersection
the cars pile
against one another.
bumper into bumper,
door into door.
heads flung forward
into glass. more trucks
will arrive
and stretchers.
meanwhile the first
truck raises
its ladder to get
the cat out of the tree.
