a heavy foot despite
being
five foot
tall and weighing a hundred
pounds
soaking
wet.
she liked to drive her
trans am
as fast as she could,
with the radio turned up,
the windows
down, speeding forward
with a red light,
or stop sign
a mere thirty yards away.
she used drink
and smoke
while she drove,
rarely using her seat belt.
it was a long
time ago, but when i see
in her the grocery
store now, a silver haired
grandmother, she's still
flying down
the aisles.
