I ran over a squirrel today
It took me totally by surprise
all I saw was a brief movement
in
the
corner
of my right eye
I think I saw the tail of
the squirrel as it ran headlong
into
the
street
and the path of my car
The sensation of the right tire
rolling over something was
the
next
thing
that I experienced.
I was still so taken aback by this
squirrel's behavior that I slowed down
and
peered
into
the rear view mirror
I wanted to see if there were any
little brown bodies on the road behind me
I
guess
the
squirrel was on drugs
