Crush-by Call
A car came too close today
It was sleeting and I was crossing the street
On the phone
Window rolled down
Less than 6 feet away
The driver said I’m sorry
Less than 2.
A tick jumped from my bedsheets
So I crushed it
I didn’t read
With a library book
Overdue.
Usually I like a slow melt but
I find loneliness best without myself.
