In the newspaper this week
a small paragraph
two girls;
sisters driving
from here to there
2:30 a.m. into the jersey wall
just going too fast
but this isn't jersey
and now they aren't
here or there
merry nothing,
how many times
did their dad say
slow down
how many times
did their mom say
too fast
how many times
did the sister driving
or the sister riding
say you worry too much
just let me live?
