Reduced
Speed Ahead
Raud
Kennedy
His
bottle of e.d. pills rolls across the dash
as
they speed through the turn
in
his new red Porsche.
His
heavy ‘girlfriend’ has frosted hair
instead
of gray.
Middle
age is a washed out memory
in
the rear view mirror
as
the Grim Reaper
leans
over the backs of their seats
and
glances at their speed.
