Cinco de Mayo Valentine

Having narrowly escaped
a three car collision
on his way home
after having narrowly escaped
getting fired for a dumb mistake
from a job he hates
after having narrowly escaped
an unhappy marriage
in another state
after having narrowly escaped
the kind of suicidal rage
that seals one’s fate
he narrowly escaped
his skin with a grin and slept
dreaming of the number five
the number of being alive
