GOOD GRACES

Cathy Porter

At the intersection,
the guy who jumped
in front of my car
is counting on my good graces
to yield to the pedestrian.
If he knew the type of day
I’ve had, he would have waited
until I was long past the intersection
before crossing the street.
He looks like he’s in
a rush to get somewhere;
mabye he has to score some crack-
or a piece of ass. He’s lucky
I hit the brake and let him pass.
For I moment, I think about slamming my foot
on the accelerator,
just to show him
you don’t have to be on crack-or horny-
to be crazy.
