3 am at a Motel 6
“Would the glove give me away?
It won’t be the shoes. I’m wearing them.
The balls? Well, finally.
Enough is enough.
Everyone is born a murderer.
I’ve thought about it for years.
But yesterday, on the practice range.
I thought she was my friend.
Sweetie, I called her after my mother.
I liked her shape.
We felt good together.
My friends told me we made a good pair.
But she made promises that she did not keep.
And now I can’t sleep.
Because I remember the terror in the eyes
Of my cumbrous driver.”
