WITCHES IN PUBLIC

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

The Hawk Kitchen 12:45pm

In The Bargain Shop

where I bought 2 pairs

of rowing shorts

I heard a skinny witch cackle

“It’s cold enough in here

to kill Ya –”

Then She appeared in

My Rear View Mirror

in the drive-thru for a McDonald’s coffee

sitting with an angelic niece or daughter?

in an old brown pick-up
