car wrecks bring out the invaild in all of us

on the highway earlier today
i noticed the car behind me
(on a sharp turn)
was incredibly close
i was going, at least, 50
and i realized it was a girl
woman
vagina
bitch
godess
angel
cunt
whatever
and i realized
that the only way
a member of the opposite sex
would ever get even anywhere remotely close to me
is when we're in
hunks of metal
capable of killing
and destroying lives
if i would have slammed
on my breaks
we'd both be in the hospital
or someone would be dead
or i'd just have a smashed in
back of my car
and her hood would be a little off kilter
that's when i thought
about swerving into the divider
cement
and metal
blood
and dreams
everyone would just drive on by
until a cop came along
and went about his regular
mindless
emotionless business

all this
just because i saw
a woman.
