As
you get into your car today
and
shield yourself in the steal
mobility
of anonymity, as you
turn
the key, guide the shifter
into
drive, as you look both
ways
at the end of the driveway,
as
you take a deep breath and
step
on the gas to make your
way
through the city streets
and
onto the Interstate, music
and
news playing on the radio,
realize
there are folks who
don’t
drive through the hustle
bustle
of rush hour speeding
toward
work, appointment
and
play, folks who shall
remain
home bound in their
own
personal anonymity,
folks
like me whose face
will
hopefully never again
be
speeding past you to
cut
you off and piss you off
to
ruin your day. Call in sick
and
avoid the uncivilized
malaise,
the crisscrossed
confusion,
the mental con-
tusion
which on any given
day
is bound to happen. I
shall
be thinking of you,
the
faceless and forewarned.
