For Marco and Vincent
I grip the eight ball, downshift through the yellow light, and fishtail onto Rosecrans, the Charger biting the street at such an angle that my phone skates across the dash and my surfboards clatter in the back seat. The plastic Gloomy Bear hanging from the rearview mirror looks as if it’s dangling in zero gravity. I want to rip it up to eighty again, get to his Point Loma home at light speed, but there’s a big-butt solar RV turtling across two lanes, and I’m hitting red light after red light. I’m forced to downshift and swing past the RV, “S” through traffic while expressing myself in not-so-nice language. Then it’s a left, right, left-left past the Pita King, and another left before the Charger growls up to his house.
