Helen Lewis Response

Mile 392

Head
lights
punch through
the darkness.
One of my hands grips
the wheel, knuckles white. The other
cradles a cigarette, lifting it to my lips, then
flicking it out of the window in a shower of sparks. I look over my shoulder.
Bobby’s lying down on the back seat. A fly that’s been
buzzing around since Monroe lands
on his upper lip.
He’s smelling
really
bad
now.
