easter
sunday, on call
over dinner we joke about the rain
and bet on accidents
when the call comes in
i’m scared and excited as we fly
lights and sirens to a mangled car
the girl is already dead
i know as i rhythmically compress her chest
on the way to the ER
driving home later i remember
amidst my tears and anger
that she had a lucky penny in her shoe
