Warning Bells

You liked my bell bottom jeans,
said they made me look like John Denver.

I grinned, but then the little car
took a bend too fast,
I had to fight the wheel
to stay on the road.

Later when Denver flew his plane
into sudden death
I threw the dumb pants away.

Perhaps you felt like they were a harbinger? Good writing, Eric. I enjoyed it.
