ten after four on the back slab, i face north and from behind me from left to right i hear a car accelerating. peering around the corner i see taillights clipping the house next door. and a sound like it's scraping against a wild turn before realizing it's hitting the speed bump still going straight. lights are still on in the house on the corner half a block that way east. a man is through the front door panes and i see him, wondering if he also sees a pulsing faint red pin on the slab. through the panes and in the car and on the slab we are all still up. but to me it looks like a big glowing cherry and i figure then it's enough of a buzz and i walk in, calling it a night. forty after four on the back slab northeast i hear one bird.
