11/23/11 by Meghan HelmichThe last time my mom had a stroke,
she blacked out and ran her car
into a McDonald's.
For me, it's always through guard rails
and off the side of the skyway
with a seatbelt that works too well
while I discover the belly of the bay
through my windshield. 11/25/2011 Posted on 11/25/2011 Copyright © 2025 Meghan Helmich
