A bump in the road
She thought a thorn
had broken the skin of her ankle
while horseback riding near
old Route 66 in the
North Valley of Albuquerque
It looks like a snake bite
I said as I brought my eyes closer
You know she said
I thought maybe I heard a rattle
as we skirted past the brush
but I thought it was your iPhone
making one of its noises
We better go get yourself
fixed up now I said
we’re supposed to be at
Doc & Eddy’s at seven-thirty
october two thousand thirteen
