the maniac in the car beside you

at the red light
i glance
over at the maniac driver
who's been
swerving in and out 
of lanes
at ninety-miles an
hour,
nearly killing a dozen
people
in the process.
i look over
and we make eye contact.
he smiles
as he revs his engine
anticipating
the green.
he doesn't look
all that insane.
which is the scary part.
