in the grass

it rolled six
seven
maybe
eight times
before i realized
that
my brother
was in the back
seat

forward
backwards
side
to
side
the car

rolled
and
rolled
till

pavement
cement
gravel
turned
to one

on the top
but this was
my bottom
tires
still rolling
guns n roses
still blaring

what just happened
this this for a
piece of ass
now she lays
motionless
in the grass

this this for a
piece of ass
her brother
lays next to her
in the grass

how am i going to
where am i going to
what is going to

sirens blare
brother yells
needs a cigarette
wants a cigarette
he’s too young to
smoke

almost died
but i try to save him
me 16
he 14

there’s a spot in the
roof
where his head hit
there’s a place in
my pants where i

i gathered my thoughts
upside down
wondering how i’d
explain this

this this for a piece
of ass
now she’s in the grass
with her brother
