SATAN'S BIG TOE

SATAN’S BIG TOE
on the way out of my driveway
this morning
I ran over
Satan’s big toe
he had to stop suddenly
and his tail shot back
to balance him out
then he stood there
lifting his foot
and shaking his toe
and waving his fists
when I looked into the rearview mirror
I saw him staring back at me
and I couldn’t help
raising my hand
and giving him the finger
