baby bones

there are over
three hundred
bones in a baby.
i read that today
on a sheet of
fun news and trivia
while waiting for
my car to be fixed.
i may never forget
that useless
information.
it will stick with
me until the day
i die, while the car
finds a dump to
rust in, the tires
flatten. the seats
spring holes. i'll
always have those
tiny, bleached white
baby bones
to ponder.
