Life
by James Morehead
the cringe of a car thief chased by police who runs out of gas two girls laughing and giggling telling you the time as you hide your watch a grasshopper's blare hidden deep out of reach under your bed the sound of your laughter heard for the first time in an empty theatre holding your breath while passing a cemetary avoiding ladders black cats and sidewalk cracks accepting a collect call from someone you can't remember playing your walkman just loud enough to annoy an odd man nestled in a thick novel shoveling snow and chipping ice two hours before a freak thunderstorm
