Minor Damage

A cat runs across the road,
then a rabbit, then a deer.
I look left, a barn is airborne,
it flies away in slow motion,
boards silently flapping.

We have a deductible of $400, you say.
A gull rolls over the hood, sea-legs
scrambling over smooth metal.

The car is rocking.

"Did you turn off the coffee-maker"?

We are just talking;
our minds already rowing ashore.

A cat runs across the road,

I look left, a barn is airborne,
it flies away in slow motion,
boards silently flapping.

We have a deductible of $500, you say.
A gull rolls over the hood, sea-legs
scrambling over smooth metal.

The car is rocking.

“Did you turn off the coffee-maker?”

We are just talking;
our minds already rowing ashore
somewhere.

Premium Member Melancholy Memory

It’s no longer here. Gone is my set of wheels. Pieces of glass lie here. My car’s gone. We called the police. A report was filled out. Gave them all the details. What was next? An insurance claim was made on the next day. “Gone”, what else could I say. Is there hope? The deductible I had to get myself, took all of my money. Not funny. People of the world How cruel can they all be? Are they too blind to see? Rot in hell!

Premium Member Shake Your Shoes Out

Make sure you shake your shoes out before putting them on.
I once got bitten by something (I suspected a spider)
on the long toe of my left foot.
It swelled, itched, and throbbed on and off for three weeks.
I wasn't insured at the time
So, I self-remedied-mainly with ice, aspirin, and cheap spirits.

I'm insured now but rarely meet my deductible.
Always shake life out before you put it on.
Poison is the love of shadows and the unemployed.
