Mate, or: Checkmate

Posted on July 19, 2021 by ben Alexander

A musette

Red car
parked on side street
not far

Loud creaks
synced with his wife's
pleased shrieks

Cocked gun
if not he, then...
no one

  Yep! I’m doing a series of 7. That’s a week of Twitter poems for my #APoemADay challenge.

  You know, this may be why people have to pay higher insurance on red cars! 🙃

    Maybe your car was the wrong color.
