every other car
is a cop car

black and white
red coupe
black and white
silver sedan
blacl and white

tell me
you can see this
too

the universe is
spawning cop cars
at an alarming rate

i can’t be
the only one
to notice

an infection of
reflective tape
light bars
angry scowls
staring out of
newly minted
black and white
cop cars in an
alternation of
blistering insanity

remember to breathe
before assimilation
