Bumper Cars

by Angela Thomas

For just a second, I thought maybe i was going insane.

My mother was on one phone, telling me about how i had no insurance.
I was on the other phone with the police, explaining that to them
and there you were, talking to me on the computer, saying how upset you were.

I flipped closed one phone, hung up the other, and stared at the screen,
I was begging to talk to you. Finally, the call went through and all we could both do was yell and cry,
screaming about infidelity and who's fault it was and then, you got a beep, could I hold?

You came back, and I said, like a movie, where we were scripted to have a passionate embrace,
let's not fight.i heard you sigh loud into the phone, so i started to talk,
i told you how my insurance was cancelled, and when i hit that person too,

I really hadn't even seen them, they came out of nowhere.
Then again, it's not like you're ever looking for it when you play bumper cars after work
with people that didn't know they were playing.
