POP THE TRUNK

We were leaving Golden Gardens again
It was a quiet gray night
On a slim path back to the parking lot
We encountered a pack of teens carrying a keg
They were wearing green Letterman's jackets
Football players
We're minding our own business but
They put down the keg
Give a shove and a poke
Deride us
Challenge us to a fight
I figure I can take 2 maybe 3
Same for Erock
But there are 7 of them
2 of us
That doesn't add up right
So we take the bullying
Manage to make it past them and go on our way
When we get to the parking lot there are only 2 cars
Mine an 85 Red and Black Mustang with T-tops
and
A muscle car with green bumper stickers
The hood was warm
"You still got that bat in the trunk?" Erock asked
"Always," I said
"Pop the trunk."
"Start the car."
