coming to full
stops
at each light and sign,
looking left then right,
a man
and his dog
come out of nowhere,
from behind
a row of thick hedges,
and i almost
flatten them to the ground.
he yells,
and screams,
the dog barks, pulled
back hard
by the angered man.
how did i not see
them?
why didn't they see me?
no apology will appease
him,
i can do nothing but
drive on.
i'll sleep uneasily tonight,
though
uncertain of the wrong.
