the slow crawl through Old Towne

in Old Towne,
from
out of nowhere she would
appear
from behind
a car
with her dog
on a leash.
she was no more than
four foot tall
or less.
i almost ran her over
several times
in bad weather,
my windshield
fogged
with the wipers going
at full
task.
she'd look at me
from almost under
the bumper
of my car and give me
the one finger salute.
but it wasn't my fault,
that she
wasn't tall.
