as I am walking,
just walking,
a white jeep backs
quickly into my path.
dude! learn how to drive,
I scold the driver,
with whom I am now face
to face
save for the
dense glass window
between us.
a second flashes in his
iced eyes,
which meet mine.
he is young,
sixteenish maybe,
and stunned into silence.
the boy understands me
and I walk on to finish my day,
but he stays with me.
