PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I've come to a perplexing intersection

Rather than a four-way stop sign,

I am the only driver hindered by the serious red octagon.

Obeying the law and watching traffic whiz by,

I am at the mercy of the oncoming vehicles

Waiting on everyone else's terms.



As they keep coming from all directions,

I realize that I must be assertive.

I must take control.

As I push down on the accelerator-

as I cut off the cop car -

I grin, elated with liberation.



Go ahead, officer - make my day.

This will be the best damn ticket I've ever gotten.
