Gremlin Chauffeur
My cell phone’s map ap
advises I was at
my favorite diner Friday morning
between 1:05 and 1:13AM
when I may not have been sleeping
or even dreaming
but was certainly in bed.
No mode of travel specified–
teleportation no doubt
or spiritual somnambulation–
but let’s get real
it was just the phone.
I should put a trace on it
– oh, wait...
The diner isn’t open then
so it must have been rooting
through the edible garbage
or doing a quick drug deal
in the parking lot.
(Better check
for credit card activity.)
You’d think if it was just a glitch
the gremlin would have picked
somewhere more interesting
like Singapore or Saturn
but with just four minutes
each way, well,
it must have only glitched
a less significant bit.
Oy! Must start critiquing and posting for crit! Maybe after I find out where I've been tomorrow morning...
