Diesel
The label on the rental car gas cap said 'diesel'
she realized too late.
Twenty-three liters of petrol
already filling the tank.
A frantic Google search.
Two charitable lads to help push the car to the auto shop.
A somber walk to the hotel.
Four hours behind schedule
and three-hundred-eighty euros gone.
A sigh of relief
for the catastrophe that was caught in time.
