Traffic
Unregulated
Cars and trucks
Just zooming every which way

A police car
Speeding
Ticketing cars
UNDER the speed limit

My kitchen
Dirty spoons
On the counter
Unwashed bowls
Full of chocolate
Babies screaming
A cat in the fridge
Drinking the porridge
I made for dinner

A soup tureen
In a 50’s diner
upended over
a drunken man’s head

A fit of drunks
In a dirty bar

A crash
A crack
A chair bouncing
Off my head

A rock concert
And crazed fans
Backstage
Mobbing the stars
And begging for autographs

A scheming band
Of ambushers
Lying in wait
With water balloons
