hazard lights

.


theres a soft spot in my heart

for that little used button

in every car..with the red
triangle…

that button

takes me back

to when I was a boy

and I’d play in my fathers car

the old brown impala

where you could roll down the window

with the power off

and the only thing that worked

with the engine off

was that hazard button

gosh…both lights would blink

and my imagination would

take me places…lord knows where

but my smile was ear to ear

as I opened and closed em

and turned the wheel 

a few centimeters

if I pulled 

…...hard enough
