Heads or Tails
by Francis Michael Dattilo, Jr.
I wonder. I wonder.
My high school buddy, Hatcher, flipped a quarter to see who would cop a couple of bottles of Bud from Clem's rustic party store.
I chose tails; my pal got caught while I turned tail to the woods behind Clem's. The rest is police history.
2 subsequent car thefts
1 attempted car jack
1 attempted break-in of an ATM and who knows what else?
There but for the flip of a coin go I.
I still miss you, Hatch. There isn't a night that goes by that I don't remember
you.
"This prayer's for you, Bud."
