Her SUV sits
\nfully across the sidewalk
\nshe is engrossed
\ntalking to her ear
\nchewing the mouthpiece
\nfacing the street
\nwrong way in a one way
\nas I approach on foot<\/p>\n
Should I risk injury
\nin front of her
\nor behind her<\/p>\n
Perhaps I should
\nfall on my knees
\nand worship
\none so exhalted
\nas to grant herself
\nthis pride of place<\/p>\n
Prudence rules
\nI stop and wait for her
\nto commit<\/p>\n
She turns toward me
\nsees me idly
\nand proceeds
\ninto traffic
\nchewing her plastic cud
\nheading for the barn<\/p>\n
Thank you
\nO ministry of motor vehicles
\nfor permitting me to
\nview this apparition<\/p>\n
Amen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
