was it St. Jude on his dashboard?
as he raced everywhere when drunk
seldom under forty miles an hour
I only rode with him once
he thought my yelling a joke
but five other people told me
after he accordioned his car
against the stone chapel
that his driving terrified them
on their own lone rides with him
each of us warned him at least once
but he stroked the little plastic saint
and assured each of us “Jesus saves his own.”
