Puna District, Island of Hawai‘i
Dad drives
a stretch of roadway
with dips and rises.
He accelerates,
and his Datsun hatchback
leaves pavement and earth
briefly, and my stomach
backflips through delight.
Laughing, I urge
Dad, do it again!
Not good for tires
or suspension, but fun.
He turns the car around
if only to hear his son
laugh again.
