The door left wide open after exiting the house
was the first stark clue this quiet woman
had had more than enough of this vicious life
She backed out of the driveway head held high
tears burning her eyes scalding her cheeks
Jammed the old Impala into drive gunned
the big engine hard drove away from the dank
darkness pervading her haunted house
Neighbors outside watched as the car
zoomed by swearing it was clipping
at a hundred miles an hour already
More like one hundred and fifty
she gained the bottom of the steep
incline flew across the empty
intersection jumped the sidewalk
slammed into a telephone pole
And that was all she wrote
Dead as a door nail but free
