The 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.

That first stanza sure as hell got my attention. This has been a remarkable series.
