OLDGUY: SUPERHERO

TAKES HIS DRIVER’S TEST

Six crushed pylons,
three lopped hydrants,
two stop signs,
one No U-TURN sign,
four pedestrian near-misses,
one vegetable stand,
five outdoor-café tables,
one Macy’s display window,
seven mannequins,
one Salvation Army bucket,
eight cars—five parked,
three moving—two meters,
the Oldguymobile’s front end,
rear end, and door panels,
plus two cops a-leaping,
three maids a-freaking,
four burps from Aetna,
eight coups in Asia,
earthquake in Orange,
and a poodle in a pear tree.
