Parallel MAG
The car nudged up against the
trash can again, like a dog wanting
another treat from its trainer.
My sister frantically ground the
gears into reverse and pulled
out between the trash cans as
if they were an open mouth
that would snap her up.
Again
and again
she parallel parked, until
finally she mastered the art.
Confident, she turned up the radio ...
and mistook the brake for gas.
The sound of the trash can
thundering
down the street was heard a mile
away.
Quickly, she slammed on
the brakes and turned off the radio,
freezing like a caught burglar, and
ran after the trash can.
