Snapshot
It's a fast junction and
the macho lad in wraparound
shades and black Toyota
decides to prove something
guns it past me into the fast lane
hasn't seen the orange light
or gangling arms of
incomprehensible 20-mph-max
farm machinery which *everyone*
is going to want to pass
including that ponderous artic
trailing six saloons like ducklings
our kid's doing 80 and rising
suddenly gets real
has to *stand* on the anchors
just about making it without
leaving rubber on the road or worse
