The orthopedic surgeon I work for was moving to a new office,

and his staff was helping transport many of the items.

I sat the display skeleton in the front of my car,

his bony arm across the back of my seat.

I hadn't considered the drive across town.

At one traffic light, the stares of the people in the car beside me

became obvious, and I looked across and explained,

"I'm delivering him to my doctor's office."

The other driver leaned out of his window.

"I hate to tell you, lady," he said, "but I think it's too late!"
