Hell on Wheels by Ryan Quinn Flanagan

She is stuck trailing a group of old timers
in electric wheelchairs that are crawling
down the middle of the road.

Four men and three women.
Seven electric wheelchairs spread out
so that you can’t get by.

A line forms behind them.
She honks and I warn her not
to rile this wrinkled biker gang:
Hell on Wheels,
I call them.

She almost drives into the ditch
with laughter.
