She drives with the skill
of an old alcoholic as she
confidently pulls right
up to the guard rail
She’d been listening to
a radio show about the
long-time secret military
base we have on Mars
Then she looks in the back
and sees two sleeping women
that she doesn’t know and has
no idea how they even got there
