If you want your children to be safe
Buy them tires for Christmas.
Go to Michelin, ask them:
What are the tires that ambulances use?
Ambulances are like twenty-seven year olds:
When they do move, it is always an emergency
They are skidding toward, through red lights
And around corners fatal with ice.
This is how emergency pile-ups happen:
You start with one and in your efforts to get to it
You cause twelve more.
But since you can’t teach them this,
Because everyone needs to do her time as an EMT,
Just buy your children the types of tires
That they put on ambulances
And let them care about for their world
In this quick, bright, heavy, wild way.
