September 21 PRPG autumn

Bobby Johnson

We were walking home
from a Halloween party.
Daryl scooped up stones
and threw them at a trailer truck that rumbled by.
Red lights flashed with squealing breaks.
A muscular truck driver leapt from the front,
grabbed Daryl by the collar,
slammed him against the side of the truck.
“It wasn’t me,” screeched Daryl,
scared out of his gourd.
“It was Bobby Johnson.”
The driver let Daryl go.
We walked home.
A little stunned.
Making jokes
about the infamous
bad boy,
imaginary
Bobby Johnson.
