the Last Day he Drove
(notes from the police report)

Drew Nacht

An elderly man stands next to his car in the middle of an intersection
Blocking a garbage truck, driver of truck asks elderly man if he is okay,
Elderly man in an agitated voice says, “no, do you know Gates Ave.”?
Driver of truck attempts to help with directions
But the elderly man becomes increasingly agitated,
Driver of truck calls police and officer Ryan reports to the scene
And confirms no accident has occurred and elderly man is physically okay.
Inspection of driver’s license confirms elderly man’s street address as Gates Avenue
And a last name of ‘Zheimer’. Officer Ryan drives Mr. Zheimer home
Which is only two blocks from the intersection.
As officer Ryan pulls up to the house a woman is standing in the doorway,
Mr. Zheimer says to the officer, “what is she doing here, this is none of her business”
Officer Ryan confirms the woman is Mrs. Zheimer, who lives in the house
With her husband of 52 years. Mr Zheimer shakes the officer’s hand and says,
“call me Al”.
