it happens that
Lady Gaga plays
Do What You Want 
as I drive pass
retreats Seventh Day Adventist
and Anglican in turn

(featuring R. Kelly [Explicit])

 

with ped on pedal
at a constant 90
that moment ticks faster
in an instant of klicks
than the driver’s wit

(debating adjectives)

 

24 hours later
turning onto Smith’s Beach
footsore from first legs
it happens that they drive pass
2 white haired grannies
gleefully lick magnums
in a white elantra

(incongruous)
