Drive Straight

Swipe left 

Treat me like an endangered animal 

Clear area to walk across 

If you’re a cyclist, keep going 

I don’t want to cooperate  

My version of sharing space 

Everybody does their thing 

Stalled at the intersection 

Rough days 

You can honk at me or ask me what my problem is while I stare in silence 

I can text or talk on the phone all day if you can still pass me 

Am I at fault?  

I don’t have only 30 seconds to cross if there aren’t any lit up signs for pedestrians 

If it’s nighttime, I try to be cautious 

Sometimes I try to be courteous and race across the street when it’s my turn 

Careless or careful? Will I ever learn?
